Thought the list might be interested in the results of another
election (other than Bore and Gush). Slovenia just had its national
elections and routed the right-wing.
Liberals (former Communist Youth, now a small-l liberal party,
party of the longest serving PM since independence, Drnovsek.) =
37 seats.
United Front (former Communist Party, now socialist) = 12 seats
Social Democrats (right-wing, anti-communist, party of the last PM
of 4 or 5 months, Jansa) = 18 seats.
Former Peoples (farmers) Party = 11 seats
New Slovenia Party (former Christian Democrats, right-wing) = 10
seats.
Slovenia National Party, Youth Party and Pensioners Party = 2
(each? not sure on this one).
2 seats for minorities.
Likely coalition of Liberals and United Front with perhaps also
some from peoples, pensioners and youth. Liberals plus UF have
49 of the 96 seats, a bare majority without any other coalition
partners. The hard right have only 28 seats. Hence, probably a
stable centre-left coalition government.
