deputies ultimately stayed with PS. On 31 May Bratušek's splinter group formed the Alliance of Alenka Bratušek as a separate party. In the 2014 European election, PS received a mere 6.6% of the vote, failing to return any MEPs. The party received 2.96% of the vote in the 2014 parliamentary election on 13 July 2014, and did not win any seats in parliament. The party did not contest the 2018 parliamentary election, or participate in any subsequent elections. Reception Janković's decision to create a new political party came together with the announcements of other new parties, such as Gregor Virant's Civic List and the Party for Sustainable Development. The new party gained significant public support even before it was officially chartered, placing first in an opinion poll by the newspaper Delo. Other opinion polls placed the party among the top three. The leaders of the centre-left parties whom Janković supported in the 2008 election, had reservations about Janković entering state politics. On the other hand, Janez Janša, the opposition leader, claimed that Janković did not bring an alternative to the politics of Slovenia. In 2011 Slovenian Democratic Party affiliated mayors in eastern Slovenia threatened to split off the regions of Lower Styria and Prekmurje from the central state, claiming that a future government under Janković would pursue a rigorously Ljubljana-centred policy and ignore the interests of the peripheric regions.
