If a general election had taken place in the past two months, it would have been won by the senior governing party Smer-SD on 27.5 percent, ahead of the Opposition Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party on 15.5 percent and the co-governing Slovak National Party (SNS) on 11.5 percent, according to a Median SK agency poll released on Tuesday. Another five parties would also have made it into Parliament: OLaNONOVA would have got 9 percent, the far-right People’s Party Our Slovakia (LSNS) 8.5 percent, the extra-parliamentary Christian Democrats (KDH) 8 percent, and We Are Family and Most-Hid would have garnered 6 percent each. Other parties would have remained under the 5-percent threshold required to get a party into Parliament, including the ethnic-Hungarian SMKMKP (4.5 percent) and Siet/Network (1 percent).
