Had a general election taken place in February, it would have been won by the extra-parliamentary Voice-SD party on 17.5 percent of the votes, a poll carried out by AKO agency revealed on Thursday. Voice-SD would have been followed by the opposition Smer-SD party on 14.5 percent and the co-governing Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party on 14.2 percent.
Other parties that would have made it into Parliament were: Progressive Slovakia on 8.7 percent, OLaNO on 8 percent, the Christian Democratic Movement on 7.2 percent, and the We Are Family party and the far-right Republic party on 6.9 percent each. Two parties that currently hold seats in Parliament would not have reached the necessary 5-percent threshold this time, namely People’s Party Our Slovakia (LSNS) on 2.5 percent, and For the People on 2.3 percent. Also left outside Parliament would have been the ethnic-Hungarian Alliance party on 4.1 percent and the former governing Slovak National Party (SNS) on 3.8 percent.
