Ordinary People and Independent Personalities[2] (Slovak: Obyčajní Ľudia a nezávislé osobnosti), usually short as Ordinary People (Slovak: Obyčajní Ľudia), abbreviated to OL, is a conservative political party in Slovakia. It ran four candidates on the list of the classical liberal Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) in the 2010 election to the National Council, and all four were elected. It is led by Igor Matovič, one of the four MPs.
The four Ordinary People MPs were Igor Matovič, Erika Jurinová, Martin Fecko, Jozef Viskupič.[3] OL sat in the National Council with the SaS and signed an agreement with the SaS that its members could not cross the floor to another group. In June and July 2010,[3] it was rumoured that OL would refuse to back the programme of the new centre-right coalition,[4] which included Freedom and Solidarity, and whose majority depended on Ordinary People.[5]
Matovič denied that the group was attempting to become an independent party.[5] However, on 28 October 2011, Ordinary People filed a formal party registration, while Matovič announced that the party would compete in the next election as a separate list, of independents and representatives of the Civic Conservative Party and the Conservative Democrats.
