Realists (

2017 legislative election.[5] The party said that it will defend Czech national interests and govern according to the Pareto principle.[6]

History

The party was established on 24 November 2016. Petr Robejšek took the title of "mentor", because the new leader was to be elected in 2016. The Realists criticised

Dawn - National Coalition.[8] The Realists registered as an official party in December 2016 as Party of Regions but changed its name to the Realists soon afterwards.[9]

The Realists launched their campaign for

the 2017 elections on 14 February 2017. Robejšek said that he hoped to win 20% of votes in the election.[10]

Martin Lank, who was elected as a member of

Dawn of Direct Democracy, joined the Realists on 25 May 2017.[11] Robejšek stated that the party was prepared to accept other MPs if they decided to join the party and shared its views.[12] Another MP from Dawn, Jana Hnyková, joined the Realists on 5 September 2017.[13]

On 21 August 2017, the Realists announced Jiří Hynek as their presidential candidate in the 2018 election.

The Realists received 0.7% of votes in the 2017 legislative election, failing to reach the 5% electoral threshold.[14] Party leaders refused to describe the result as a defeat, and Jiří Hynek stated that the Realists should prepare for the next election.[15]

The party announced on 16 July 2019 that it would vote on whether to dissolve itself due to electoral defeats and passive regional organisations.[16] The party announced on 22 July 2019 that its members had voted to dissolve the party.[17]
