SMER is a social democrat party, with a conservative social policy and Russophile foreign policy. As expected, it secured the support of SNS, a nationalist and Russophile party. SNS has worked with SMER in the past. In something of a surprise, SMER also gained the support of HLAS, which broke-away from SMER on social and foreign policy. I suspect that SMER and HLAS will work out their difference in foreign policy. I much prefer democracy to its alternative, but whether proportional representation or winner takes all, democracy can be messy.

Since I’m not up on my Slovak political parties, is SMER the good (freedom loving) guys?
