There was also a situation, so in the 2018 election, you might remember back, for those of you who When the Latvia Weekly podcast started almost eight years ago, because the podcast started right after the 2018 election during the very messy coalition formation situation.

So Jauna Vienotiba, which we'll be talking about very soon.

They were the smallest party in parliament, but the prime minister ended up being from their party because the bigger parties could not agree with one another over who would become the prime minister.

And the prime minister from candidate from that party, Christian's courage was seen as a compromise candidate.

Then they went back down to 8.7% in July.

And in the last poll, they were at 6.7%, which again, I would be a little bit nervous about if I were them because that is a three-month trend of decreasing.

But I think similar to Vienotiba, that's still going to stabilize.

And I think that they have enough of a core electorate that although certain people who aren't necessarily aligned with any particular party don't vote for the same party every election, You know, one election they might vote from one party or the other.
