| Description | In March 2012, parliamentary elections were held in Slovakia. The winner, the party Direction - Social Democracy (SMER-SD) got 44.4 per cent of the vote, guaranteeing it a majority in Slovak parliament. This is the first time since 1994 that a single-party government has been formed, with Robert Fico as Prime Minister. As for the results of the index, Slovakia gained the highest ranking when dealing with stability and ability to govern; in this field, all but one category were afforded the highest possible amount of points. The area of popular support also produced quite good results, though the scores were slightly lower. Crisis management and governance results both remained somewhat behind as they both produced mixed outcomes. |
