Ukraine's Indecisive, Divisive, Illegal and Unconstitutional Election

A recipe for disaster

By Online Editor -
In one weeks time Ukraine will go to the polls. Public opinion polls are showing that Ukraine remains bitterly divided as it was back in 2004. Next weeks election will only further divide Ukraine and add to the loss of confidence in the political process The results of the election are unknown but what is known is that only the victor will support the outcome and who ever is the loser will reject it. If Yulia Tymoshenko loses the election she will once again claim that the results of the ballot was fraudulent. If she wins her opposition will claim likewise. Earlier in the week the Government had cause to seriously question the conduct of the election, the role played by Ukraine's President and the ongoing question and doubt of the legality of the president's actions.

Party of Regions warns President of discord

By Online Editor -
The Party of Regions (PRU) announces about its intention to withdraw from the early election campaign in the event if its opponents do not stop their provocations. “If our opponents’ cynical provocations entertained to prepare massive polling fraud should not stop, PRU is ready to put its participation in the elections under doubt,” is stated in the party’s message. “We do not want to be involved in the 2007 election venture predetermined by Bankova Street and then justified in a biased court,” PRU adds. It is also said in the message that ‘the central PRU campaign headquarters keeps on receiving alarming reports on provocations prepared against the party’.
