Slovak coalition loses house majority, can still count on support from independents

The coalition has lost its formal majority in the 150-member House, as the tally of coalition votes shrank to 75 in the wake of Martin Fedor leaving Most-Hid, although the coalition can still count on support from independent MPs. Smer-SD caucus is 48-strong, Slovak National Party (SNS) 15 and Most-Hid 12. However, independent MPs Alena Basistova, Martina Simkovicova, Rastislav Holubek and Peter Marcek have proven to vote in concert with the coalition in many cases.
