Bratislava, May 20 (TASR) - The parliamentary elections on June 12 could end in stalemate, with both the current governing Coalition and the Opposition receiving 75 seats each, according to a survey carried out this month by the Focus agency presented on news-only television channel TA3 on Thursday.
According to the poll, the winner of the election would have been Smer-SD on 35 percent, followed by SDKU-DS on 14 percent, and the extra-parliamentary Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) on 13.3 percent.
The Christian Democrats (KDH) would have come fourth on 8.3 percent, ahead of the Slovak National Party (SNS) on 6.1 percent, the ethnic-Hungarian SMK on 5.9 percent, and the Slovak-Hungarian Most-Hid on 5.6 percent. Vladimir Meciar's LS-HZDS on 5.1 percent would only just have cleared the 5-percent threshold needed to get into Parliament.
