coalition buidling will be necessary

ENCNow

The populist / nationalist anti-immigration euroskeptic Smer Party, led by former Prime Minister Robert Fico has won the most seats in Slovakia's parliamentary election and appears set to form a coalition government.  Like the Five Star Movement it Italy, its agenda is a mix of positions of the right and left with an overall emphasis on populism and nationalism.  It won 42 seats in the 150 member parliament, a gain of 4, to emerge as the largest party, while Hlas-SD, an offshoot of Smer that broke away but has a similar agenda and led by another former prime minister, came in third with 27 seats.

A new nationalist party of the right, the Slovak Nationalist Party, entered parliament for the first time with 10 seats.  It is strongly anti-immigration and euroskeptic.  The Freedom and Solidarity Party, which has strongly libertarian economic views, pushing for smaller government and lower taxes, and is known for making Slovakia's income tax a flat rate rather than progressive rate tax, won 11 seats.  The traditional conservative Ordinary Peoples Party won 16 seats, while the center-right Christian Democrats returned to parliament with 12 after losing all its seats in the previous election.

The traditional left consolidated around the new Progressive Slovakia, which entered parliament with 32 seats.
