Good Choice (Slovak: Dobrá voľba) was a political party in Slovakia. The party's goals were officially announced at a press conference on 12 September 2019. On 20 May 2023, the party approved a merger agreement with Voice – Social Democracy,[2] which took effect on 30 September 2023.
History
In August 2019, Tomáš Drucker announced his intention to establish a new political party. Even before announcing that the party would be called Good Choice, Robert Fico responded: "He just doesn't have it. This is a typical café, liberal politician ... "[3] Drucker responded by announcing that the request for Tibor Gašpar to remain in his position existed and was demonstrated publicly by Fico.[4]
On 12 September 2019, they submitted almost 30,000 signatures from citizens to the Ministry of the Interior and applied for registration of the Good Choice political party. Lucia Kurilovská[5] and Tomáš Kuča, Rector of the Academy of the Police Force, and Director of the Press and Information Department of the Government Office, became another media-famous member of the newly emerging party in September 2019.[6] They are still listed on the party's website in February 2020:[7]

Surveys
According to a survey by the AKO Agency published on September 6, 2019, the party has a potential of 23.8% and the election result would reportedly reach 7.4%.[8] The party considers the success of the surveys to be an encouragement for further work.[9]
On 19 September, a FOCUS survey was published, where "Good Choice" gained only 2.1%. The party did not comment further on what could have caused such a sharp decline.[10] According to the FOCUS methodology, it was not possible to determine a 95% confidence interval.[11]
