 Fair Play Alliance - Slovakia`s Most Wanted Watchdog
Among the parties under review, SDKU is the only one to introduce primary elections to determine nominations for public positions, which allows its regular members to participate in selecting their representatives (in the majority of political parties under review, it is the executive party bodies that decide on nominations).
The party’s members can participate in the management of the party through its national congress which is normally held once a year, the position of the top party leadership is secured by their four-year term of office.
The party’s organisational structure reflects the vast size of its membership, as it is the only political party in Slovakia in which the basic organisational unit (local club) has a territorial scope smaller than a municipality.

The government strongly supported Slovakia's NATO and EU accession and will continue the democratic and free market-oriented reforms begun by the first Dzurinda government.
The Slovak political scene supports a wide spectrum of political parties, including several social democratic parties and the nationalistic Slovak National Party (SNS) that is not represented in parliament, but the influence of leftist and nationalist parties has declined in the past several years.
