BRATISLAVA, September 6, (WEBNOVINY) – If parliamentary elections were held this weekend, the ruling coalition members would together garner more support than the strongest opposition party SMER-SD. The opposition SNS party would not make it to parliament, while a new party of independent deputy Igor Matovic would get the support of two percent of respondents. This stems from results of a representative survey carried out by MVK agency between August 23 to 29 on a sample of 1,038 respondents. The poll participants were asked which party they would support if parliamentary elections were held the coming weekend.
SMER-SD would still be the dominant party with 36.1 percent of the votes, winning seventy seats in the 150-member parliament. The whole coalition would get eighty seats. SDKU-DS would be the strongest coalition member with 13.2 percent and twenty-six deputies. The KDH would win nineteen mandates on 9.9-percent support. MOST-HID would have eighteen deputies in the parliament, based on 9.7 percent of the votes. The SaS would win the support of 8.7 percent of the electorate, meaning seventeen deputy seats.
SNS led by Jan Slota would collect 4.2 percent, SMK 3.9 percent, and LS-HZDS of Vladimir Meciar 3.2 percent. The Green Party would get three percent, Ordinary People two percent, and the Communist Party 1.8 percent.
