Summary/Abstract: Chapter 8, by Kamil Gregor and Petr Gongala, focuses on voting shifts between the elections to the Chamber of Deputies in 2010 and the regional elections in 2012. Their basic findings confirm that shifts between consecutive elections demonstrate voter behavior that partially conforms to the concept of second-order elections. Parties in government only retained a small number of their voters from 2010; on the one hand, they saw their voters move toward other groupings, and on the other hand, asignificant portion of their base stayed home. The segment of voters that parties retained primarily grew as their oppositional posture grew more extreme.
