Text outlines some aspects of people‘s decision making process during elections in modern mass democracies. Particularly, the aspect of (in)competence of electorate or, as the case may be, the problem of rationality of the political audiance that creates the public opinion. The arguments proving the discrepancy between the normativ and the empiric character of public opinion are purposly disbalanced based on the evaluation of reality.

In conditions of Czechoslovakia between the wars it is extremly difficult to describe precisely the right-left polarisation in politics. It is even more difficult to define pro system and anti-system politics, at least in relation to institutions. Ideological antagonism was made insignificant by the mechanism of political party competition backed by enforced consensus.
