Legislative procedure is controlled by the ruling coalition. Any legally/constitutionally permissible changes (reforms?) they desire, they could have pushed through unless they'd been struck down by the people at a referendum. There is no dictatorship in this country, just a democratic tyranny of the elected majority. @missthatcher: You are perfectly entitled to your own opinion on this couch, but I must point out that your arguments are somewhat in conflict with each other.

Well indeed they are and what kind of economy screwing are you speaking about? Not only that we have now the highest economy growth and that there is a legisation that actually supports the investments of companies in Slovenia, but it ha even lowered the minus in the countries budget. Respect. And since this is a very nice blog, I hope I will not be censored if I say: the comunnists from former Yugoslavia however still control the economy in Slovenia, Janša tried to battle against them, but they were just too strong . Viva la socialism! What a wonderful world we live in ... where a few can control with brain washing the economy as well as most of the legislation procedures and then blame the government, that they did not do their job good enough.

And so - taking all this into account, adding the fact that the government of Janez Janša has done excpetionally well in fucking up a pretty decent ecenomy (how do you come from a model euro-adopting country to a text-book example of economic and fiscal no-nos in eight months?!?), combined with a what was perceived as a dismantling of the welfare state, and you can see why any candidate even remotely connected to the current government would have a hard time getting anywhere in the vicinity of a narrow defeat. And - just to round everything up - Janeza Janša didn’t really put his back into supporting Peterle, showing that the former Prime Minister was not exactly the incumbent Prime Minister’s first choice, which of course further alienated a significant part of the right wing voters. This year the political planets were favouring the left, and all they had to do was not to screw it up big time. They didn’t. As for the parliamentary elections, to be held in a year’s time - dr. filomena is right. The game’s afoot. [...] [...] So, politicially speaking, Slovene voters are ungreatful bunch of spoilt brats.
