In the seat projection, SD+Zares+LDS is 29+9+5=43, so with the traditional support of the two minority reps, a minimum majority (45 out of 90). The damn far-righters are in the position of balance.
(I found in the meantime that LDS declared they won't coalition with the ruling SDS, hence I dare to count on left/right blocks.)
Also, on Borut Pahuk, I forgot to add the interesting detail that he is currently a MEP: that is, instead of the standard story of a 'used politician' being dumped on the EU, we have someone returning from there possibly on the top [as PM]. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

So then we can have someone who goes from the parliament to the council. That is a bit interesting.
Btw, how is stalemates in the parliament (45-45) settled? A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
I note we are at 99.88% counted, so I don't expect the seat distribution to change:
Minorities: 2
SD: 29 Zares: 9 LDS: 5 (left block: 43)
SLS+SMS: 5 DeSUS: 7 SDS: 28 (government block: 40)
SNS: 5 *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
I also note that based on past coalitions, DeSUS (the pensioners' party) may swing to the left -- however, while writing the diary, I found an article about that party's leader declaring Pahuk unfit for office (for supposed lack of experience). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
