Talk:Next Czech parliamentary election

Pirate / Mayors Split

edit

I just added some text regarding the fact the Pirates and Mayors seem to have essentially split and will not run again at the next election in the alliance, should the infobox therefore be updated to reflect this split by having the Pirates and Mayors separate?

– The term 'parliamentary' is a more precise, comprehensive and clearer description compared to 'legislative', and is more widely used in sources. This change would enhance the clarity and accuracy of the articles' titles. Nagsb (talk) 07:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

You might have a point about recent usage in sources - looking through English sources on the 2021 article, "parliamentary" and "general" seem more common than "legislative". I disagree with "more precise and clearer" though; the Czech parliament is bicameral, and only the lower house is elected in these elections. The "precise" title would be "X Czech Chamber of Deputies election" from 1996-present and "X Czech National Council election" for 1968-92. Relatedly, I could only support "parliamentary" for the ones from 1996 on, as the elections from 1992 and before were to the Czech National Council as part of the Czechoslovak federal state. I suppose an advantage of "legislative election" is that it can apply to all of the above, though that's also a bit misleading.
I could probably support "X Czech parliamentary election" for 1996-present, on account of WP:COMMONNAME, and "X Czech National Council election" for 1968-92. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 09:46, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Agreed, I corrected the proposal. --Nagsb (talk) 10:11, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
