It's funny and a little bit sad. So much hype from Russian media and those who call themselves proudly 'alternative' news about supposed neonazis who came in power in Ukraine and boom, the heralded 'nazi' party Svoboda (which is the only far-right party that has been in the Parliament) barely squeezed 6 MPs into newly assembled Parliament.
Through the district voting part, only to members of Right Sector passed, which comprises about (2+6)/450 of the total MPs. Not even made 2%, but 0.017%. Too much for a supposed "nazi junta" controlled state, eh? :) Unlike some EU member states, that have up to 30% of the total MPs represented by far-right wings. But somehow neither Russian media, nor "alternative" that so often parrots what the former says calls these parties "nazi". Ouch. Double standards, or what should it be called? I guess, Kremlin would need another scarecrow now. Well, they've shown quite an imagination in these sorts of things, so I'm looking forward to w/e their sleeping mind will give birth to.
Now to the things less amusing. The voting and subsequent results proved that, to a great sadness, countless human deaths, that paved the road to this elections, was not enough to push the restart button in all aspects of life. Dreadfully, it was but a bloody chance. Too expensive, that one...
The results of the party elections are the following:
BPP (President's block) - 132 which is far less than Poroshenko expected. Some say it's due to the supposed disappointment of party members for the 'lustration' law being passed.
People's Front (Yatseniuk's) - 82
Opposition block (former Party of Regions) - 29 which is far too much for bastards who drowned Ukraine in blood. The result can be explained by the following factors: Poroshenko, being the makeshift diplomat, decided to chose the people he knows he can buy and how they act, than new faces from Maidan, not to mention that EU and US who stressed the need of 'opposition' as it is an essential feature of democracy, and some part of it may be a result of secret pact between Putin and Poroshenko, singed in Minsk. After all, Poroshenko still has $2bn assets located in Russia and the Crimea. And miraculously, both feel very prosperous, must be sheer luck, don't you say?
Lviv mayor's "Help yourself" - 33 a true surprise, they are.
Liashko's "radical party" - 22 and the only radical in that party is the name xD
Tymshenko's "Motherland" - 19
It took more than 2 weeks to complete the 'calculations' of the vote and a usual amount of filth, one would think be impossible after so many gave their lives in the revolution of dignity. Aye, too expensive price. For a chance.

ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a comment you left on the Cobra 2012portal blog.
My name is also Sava, I was born in the Ukraine but have been living in Israel for 20 years or so. It is exciting for me to meet a "teska" who has an interest in broader aspects of reality.
I would love to talk more, do you have a facebook or e-mail that I can contact you through?
