Just barely!

quote:
Slovenia's opposition is holding a razor-thin lead over the ruling party of PM Janez Jansa, near-complete results from parliamentary polls show.

With 99% of the votes counted, the Social Democrats had 30.5% of the vote against 29.3% for the centre-right Slovenian Democrats, officials said.

But a strong performance by the Social Democrats' allies gives the centre-left 43 seats in the 90-strong parliament.

I love the short resume the article provides for the Social Democrats leader:

Mr Pahor is a former young communist and one-time male model

Interesting combo there
