Abstract
This text presents the results of polling research conducted amongst 97 representatives of the Croatian Parliament (1990-1992) after the competetive elections conducted in the spring of 1990. Representatives were asked 56 questions about the status of representatives, and their attitudes towards the parliament, parties, voters, the public and interest groups. They defined their own positions and the positions of parliamentary parties in the political arena (on a left-right scale), and designated priorities in Croatian policy, analyzed the decision-making process within and outside the parliament, their own influence in phases of decision-making, and the relationship between the government and the President. At the end of the text, the results of the judgements on the success of past policy, and a grading of the attitude of the party in power (HDZ) and the state towards the media and companies are presented. This is the first research conducted among representatives, and forms the basis for possible further longitudinal empirical reserach on Croatian parliamentarism.
