Abstract
An analysis of the general election, which took place in Slovakia on Saturday 5th March 2016. Its results were strongly influence by the fear-mongering of the incumbent PM Robert Fico, who assumed a fiercely anti-refugee and islamophobic stance. As a result, his electoral support collapsed and a large number of votes went to extreme right wing parties.
