Abstract

This article is based on the comparative research of media-
-indicated party positions in the so-called "left-right
continuum" versus the position of political parties on this
continuum, as determined by their programmes. The authors
argue that media usage of left and right positioning has,
over time, caused detachment of left/right attributes from
political programmes. The study tries to show that in
Slovenia and Slovakia there is a difference between "media"
labels of the party positions and the latter's positioning on
the basis of their programmes.
