KRP

The 1966 Schoklandic general election was the first time in 50 years that the KRP and the PRP did not win a majority of votes and seats. The election was a breakthrough for the communist CRP. Under the leadership of the Southern trade unionist Jan Kol the CRP increased its votes from 4.2% up to 9.2%. Especially in the Southern Region the CRP managed to win votes from the right-wing KRP and the social democrat SDRP.

After the election the former rivals Catholic State Party and the Protestant State Party formed a coaltion government with the centrist Democratic State Party. The reason for the former rivals to form a coalition was that the parties were shocked by the rise of the communist party.
