Dawn - National Coalition (Czech: Úsvit - Národní koalice), short Dawn, formerly (from June 2014 to August 2015) Dawn of Direct Democracy (Czech: Úsvit přímé demokracie) or (from June 2013 to June 2014) Tomio Okamura's Dawn of Direct Democracy (Czech: Úsvit přímé demokracie Tomia Okamury), is a right-wing populist and eurosceptic political party in the Czech Republic.
The party was founded in May 2013 by Tomio Okamura, independent senator attached to the Christian Democratic parliamentary group. Tomio Okamura's Dawn of Direct Democracy favours the implementation of direct democracy at all levels "as a solution to the corruption, nepotism, clientelism and kleptocracy," the use of referenda, the direct election of deputies, senators, mayors and regional governors, a presidential system and, consequently, a stronger separation of powers.
Original Dawn of Direct Democracy candidates include members of Public Affairs, a former member of the Civic Democratic Party, and a representative of Moravané.
In the parliamentary election of 2013 the party obtained 342 339 votes (6.88%) and gained 14 seats.
On 19 January 2015, Chief Whip Radim Fiala was removed and replaced by Marek Černoch.
