The Slovenian People's Party (Slovene: Slovenska ljudska stranka, SLS) is a rural-based conservative political party in Slovenia. Formed in 1988 under the name of Slovenian Peasant Union as the first non-Communist political organization in Yugoslavia, it merged with the Slovene Christian Democrats to form the present-day party in 2000. Since 2009, it has been led by Radovan Žerjav. SLS won 6.83% of the vote at the early 2011 Slovenian parliamentary election on 4 December 2011, thus gaining 6 seats in the National Assembly.

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or party:
“There were honest people long before there were Christians and there are, God be praised, still honest people where there are no Christians. It could therefore easily be possible that people are Christians because true Christianity corresponds to what they would have been even if Christianity did not exist.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“Death is hacking away at my address book and party lists.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
