Poll: Parliament Six Pack - Party of Regions pick of the pack
Source: KyivPost
A recent poll showing the expected results of a fresh round of parliamentary Elections indicates that Party of Regions with 201 seats would win government with a coalition partner of their choosing. (Min required 225 seats)
Block Yulia Tymoshenko, Y-Front, Our Ukraine, the Communists Party and Lytvyn plus one other can all make offers to sit on the cabinet table. With the outcome being a gamblers dream as uncertainty takes hold all players are in with a chance.
This could prove to be tempting for Yushchenko as Our Ukraine could form a long awaited alliance with Party of Regions but they will fall short of a constitutional two-thirds Majority unless they are joined by Yatseniuk's "Y-Front" team. A Constitutional majority could also be formed between PoR, BYuT and BVL coalition.
Based on the six parties listed this would translate into seats as following
| Party | Vote % | Seats | Seats % | |
| Party of Regions | PoR | 32.7 | 201 | 44.67 |
| Block Yulia Tymoshenko | BYuT | 14.2 | 87 | 19.40 |
| Yatseniuk Front for Change | Y-Front | 12.8 | 79 | 17.49 |
| Our Ukraine | OU | 5.4 | 33 | 7.38 |
| Communist Party of Ukraine | CPU | 4.3 | 26 | 5.87 |
| Block Volodymyr Lytvyn | BVL | 3.8 | 24 | 5.19 |
| Sum | 73.2 | 450 | 100 |
The published poll is missing details of 26.8% of undisclosed votes and which parties are below the 3% threshold.
When analysing poll results it is important to factor in the participation rate.
The participation rate is listed as ranging from 75% to 89%. This means that a party on 2.4% to 2.7% of the vote could also cross the 3% threshold quota .
