In 2007, the party merged with the social-liberal political party Zares, founded the same year by a split in the Liberal Democracy of Slovenia. Slovenia is Ours  Slovenia is Ours () is a Slovenian regionalist political party, active in the Slovenian Littoral. It is composed by three local parties, active in Slovenian Istria, namely 'Koper is Ours' (led by the mayor of Koper Boris Popovič), 'Izola is Ours' (led by the mayor of Izola Tomislav Klokočovnik), and 'Piran is Ours', led by the mayor Tomaž Gantar. At the 2004 parliamentary election, the party won 2.6% of the popular vote and no seats. It did not participate in the 2008 parliamentary election. As of September 2008, its leader was Boris Popovič, the mayor of Koper. The party did not participate in the early 2011 Slovenian parliamentary election on 4 December 2011. Slovenian National Party  The Slovenian National Party (, SNS) is a nationalist far-right political party in Slovenia led by Zmago Jelinčič Plemeniti. The party is known for its Euroscepticism and opposes Slovenia's membership in NATO. It also opposes what it considers historical revisionism of events in Slovenia during World War II and to an extent is sympathetic towards the former Yugoslav government of Josip Broz Tito. Although the party usually refuses to position itself within a left–right political spectrum, its president Zmago Jelinčič Plemeniti defined himself as leftist in a 2000 interview for the magazine "Mladina". However, the descriptions others have given the party range from left-wing to far-right, including right-wing. According to researchers at the University of Ljubljana, the SNS combines elements of right-wing and left-wing ideology and is not strictly a left-wing, nor a right-wing party, but nevertheless leans closer to the left. The party has been seen espousing more leftist economic policies (such as opposing privatization of key national enterprises), while maintaining right-wing social views, which at least partially explains the wide variance in placing it on the political spectrum. The party's ideology has been strongly anti-clerical and has advocated a firm laicist position. The party is also opposed to gay rights. The party opposes the privatisation of state-owned enterprises.
