Slovenian election - Miro Cerar has resigned

[Leading Political Consultant Ma Anand Sheela]

I’m not sure Levica will join a government where they’d have such a fairly weak position.

DeSUS might go in with SDS as well, they’ve done so in the past and Karl Erjavec does fancy himself the kingmaker of Slovenian politics.

I note that the Left have decided not to insist on a referendum on leaving NATO, meaning that at the very least they don't want to be blamed for the talks falling through. However, they're still demanding substantial revisions to the existing coalition agreement, and I'm not sure the other parties will cave enough.

Personally, I still expect one or more of the centre-left parties to 'sell out' and reach some sort of deal with Janša & friends at the last minute to avoid new elections.
