Slovakia's parliament has ratified a plan to bolster a eurozone rescue fund, just two days after MPs rejected it.

In this case, the PM, Mrs. Radicova’s coalition partners (center right parties) bailed on her, thus leaving her to turn to the opposition Social Democratic Party to get the legislation passed.

The price: early snap elections, leaving Mrs. Radicova as a caretaker PM until a new PM comes in.

Horse-trading.

Heh.

Not needed in this case.

Slovakia will have early elections in March, 2012....that’s the price she (the PM) paid to get this passed. Her coalition (center-right parties) fell apart over the issue.
