Mayors in Eastern Slovenia...[edit]

"Conservative mayors in eastern Slovenia have threatened to split off the regions of Lower Styria and Prekmurje from the central state, fearing that a future government under Janković would pursue a rigorously Ljubljana-centred policy and ignore the interests of the peripheric regions.[12][13]"

Uh..lol, this makes it sound like they're about to have a referendum on secession, when when they said is something noone in their right mind would actually take seriously, and has become the subject of jokes, not serious political discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.221.192 (talk) 23:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've replaced 'have threatened' with 'threatened', as it was said seriously.[1] --Eleassar ^{my talk} 21:31, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, it wasn't meant seriously, but as a slight provocation. Besides, I don't think Žurnal is a very reliable source, is it? Viator slovenicus (talk) 02:27, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, what makes you think it wasn't meant seriously? Do you have any source that indicates this was only a joke? It was reported as serious by Žurnal and taken up as such by Dnevnik.[2] We may add to the article, however, that the information was reported by Žurnal.

Also, IMHO Žurnal is just as much reliable as any other Slovenian daily media source. What makes you think otherwise? I'm sure you don't expect to find daily politics in a peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps it would make more sense if you read this article. Horst Pikern, the president of the management board of Styria Medien AG, said in 2006 for Finance: "Delo kot največja slovenska časopisna hiša je izrazito nadzorovano. Zdi se mi, da tudi v državni televiziji ni dosti drugače. Celo DZS, glavni lastnik Dnevnika, vlada verjetno nadzoruje. To pomeni, da so vsi pomembni mediji, razen Financ in Žurnala , pod vladnim nadzorom."[3] I don't think the situation changed drastically. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 09:04, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to find some source (e.g. a diploma thesis) about the credibility of different Slovenian media but have not found anything useful except for the information cited above. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 09:43, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Liberalism / social liberalism[edit]

Is it really necessary to include both 'liberalism' and 'social liberalism' in the infobox? --Eleassar ^{my talk} 11:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In which sense is the party Liberal or Social Liberal at all? Viator slovenicus (talk) 14:16, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we treat the ideological outlook of the party in a special section. In the infobox, I'd only leave centre-left, as this is the (only) minimal consensus about the part'y ideological leaning from external observers. Viator slovenicus (talk) 14:19, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot agree. The labels are supported by sources. You cannot just remove them arbitrarily. If you doubt the reliability of the sources in any way, please discuss that, instead of just unilaterally removing them. --RJFF (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Social democracy/Third way[edit]

I need a source, where can I see that Positive Slovenia is Social democracy and Third way ideology.

Name of the party[edit]

What source is actually relevant regarding the name of the party: the statute of the Party or the register of the Ministry of Interior Affairs?[4] Currently, the two differ - well, I haven't found the statute online so I have to take what the media reported for granted. It seems to be that the register is a more reliable source than the media coverage. Name changes should probably also be reported in the Official Gazette (Uradni list), considering that the party receives state money. Even at its home page, the party still uses the old name and logo. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 11:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
