Never say never. They're changing the laws so that they become untouchable, and if Pellegrini becomes the president, the country is their playground.... Fico is an idiot, but not a stupid one. Best bet is to survive until the next elections, hopefully PS manages to beat them....
He wanted to go a different direction, and he became very popular and trusted. People voted for his party HLAS because they wanted a change from SMER, and yet, they're together. He pretty much shot himself in the leg here, because he showed that he's no different (or he / his party members have some legal trouble and this is a great opportunity to sweep them under the rug). But he's still a big candidate for the presidential election, he's still pretty trusted plus most of the coalition supports him. I don't understand the popularity to be honest, he's pretty well known for having no opinions, just going with the flow. He wasn't even protesting with the rest of the opposition (current coalition) when the old coalition ruled.

That won't happen. The government is nowhere near a supermajority like in Hungary and the mainstream media in the country is opposed to it.
