Republicans of Miroslav Sládek

The Republicans of Miroslav Sládek (Czech: Republikáni Miroslava Sládka), abbreviated to Republikáni or RMS, is a tiny political party in the Czech Republic.

The party was founded by Miroslav Sládek as a successor of Coalition for Republic - Republican Party of Czechoslovakia (SPR-RSČ, Sdružení pro republiku - Republikánská strana Československa). The SPR-RSČ peaked in Czech legislative election, 1996 with 8% of votes but declined since then and in 2001 it was disbanded due to financial irregularities.

Sládek, the leader of the SPR-RSČ, immediately set up a new party; to distinguish it from the other "republican" parties his name was added.

The new party failed to attract significant number of votes (0.9% during Czech legislative election, 2002 was the highest). During Czech legislative election, 2006 RMS joined the National Party which obtained 0.1% of votes.

RMS tries to continues in politics of SPR-RSČ. Number of active members is estimated to be dozens.^[1]
