Abstract
A detailed examination of the 2006 parliamentary elections in Slovakia highlights the evolving pattern of party competition in the country. A transformation of the party political scene in the country has taken place, from one dominated by questions of the character of the political regime, illiberal democracy and nationalism into one in which socio-economic themes are of key importance for political parties to mobilize voters and win elections. Nevertheless, although socio-economic themes are now more salient, other dividing lines that shaped Slovak party politics in the 1990s, especially national appeals, remain significant for smaller, niche parties.
