For the domestic political class, and probably not only for it, but for the political class of any country, elections are something that is not just a fire, but several thousand fires that flashed simultaneously in one place. Politicians and parties immediately begin to look for money to the election campaign. They are possessed by the fear that they will not be elected, and therefore, will lose their warm, already raped places. Even the so -called political heavyweights are worried.
However, the election campaign itself is not the worst thing that can wait for a politician. The worst thing is the loss that you learn about only in the morning, after the day of voting. Having lost, you can regret yourself and start living in a new way, in the world without politics, hoping that in the next electoral cycle the people will remember you and choose again. And you can do the opposite. To begin to dispute the results of popular will and to insist on falsifications, completely neglecting the wisdom of the Russian proverb: " After the fight, they do not wave with fists ."
Accordingly, the Russian opposition, which is often accused of the absence of this very wisdom, acted exactly the opposite what I advised to do the Russian people to the loser. What made her demonstrate her own violent temper? It turned out that the existing trinket is another universal failure in the elections.
As, probably, many know, on October 11 the next “election day” took place. Residents of several regions of the country, including Moscow, tried to elect their representatives to the authorities of at different levels. And in almost all elections, opposition candidates lost, losing to the candidates of the main party of the country - United Russia. The day after the publication of the preliminary results of the “election day”, a number of political parties, or rather all parliamentary parties, with the exception of United Russia, announced the facts of mass falsifications and pressure on candidates.
In particular, the leader of the Russian communists, Gennady Zyuganov, announced a real police arbitrariness in relation to members of the Communist Party, which was happening in one of the national republics. As a result, a party to the party, headed by Gennady Andreevich, was inflicted not only moral suffering, but also physical damage. The facts of mass falsifications were also announced by the deputies of the LDPR. But they were more radical than the Communists, having requested the resignation of the head of the Tula region Vyacheslav Dudka. However, here they clearly extended the stick, because the president is now engaged in the appointments and resignations of the regional chiefs (which can lead to such requirements, their colleagues from the “EP” who requested the head of the Presidential Council of Human Rights Ella Pamfilova and, obviously received the reprimand of the highest level) can be brought to by the LDPR members.
Since their colleagues from EP did not heed the requirements of the opposition, the factions began to abandon the walls of the meeting room. First, the members of the LDPR, which were flaming by the “righteous” anger, then offended representatives of the Communist Party, finally, apparently for the company, left the deputies of Fair Russia, who were not granted the rights of a “protest voice”.
But this unity turned out to be only temporary. Representatives of all three parties agreed to speak at a joint press conference, but “Fair Russia” did not appear on it. However, this could be expected. One of the members of the “EP” so commented on the situation with the Socialist -Revolutionaries: “ The SSers will be the first to put on the heels and force them to leave the general opposition series .” They left the first, declaring the possibility of returning to the plenary meeting room. They were followed by “brewing porridge”, or rather expressing the common opinion of the opposition, - the LDPR. Its leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky has already announced the possibility of resuming the work of the faction of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia in the State Duma. Only domestic communists remained in the deaf opposition, but they, very well, will soon announce their return. The parliamentary crisis, which began on Wednesday, October 14, ended less than a week after its beginning.
The reasons for the resentment that has been distinguished by the domestic “constructive” or, as it is also called the “systemic” opposition, is obvious to such a demarche. She was not allowed to the imperious pie . But she hoped that since difficult times were coming, the people will definitely consider that “United Russia” was guilty of this. Accordingly, there will be fewer votes filed for candidates from United Russia, and more for opposition candidates.
But, as it turned out, these were just hopes. Candidates from EP won almost everywhere with a huge advantage. The opposition remained with nothing. Accordingly, they did not come up with anything better than trying to arrange a parliamentary crisis. The stupidity of the venture was obvious from the very beginning. United Russia has a constitutional majority in the State Duma, which means that the deputies of the "EP" are not only enough to adopt the laws favorable to executive, but also to support the work of the country's parliament in the absence of representatives of all other parties. Therefore, the method of parliamentary struggle, which works, for example, in Ukraine, does not work at all in Russia.
However, the question arises, why did the Russian political parties decide on this in advance a failed step. Why, for example,, following the example of some representatives of the same Ukrainian Rada, did not try to block the rostrum for performances, which would really be disrupted by the meeting of the State Duma? The answer is obvious if you pay attention to the party that initiated the political "buza". This party of the LDPR, whose leader is not only known for the extravagance of his statements and actions, but also a striking ability to guess the desires of Russian state leaders. And their desire was probably in the final discredit of the “systemic” opposition. She was shown lazy and not appreciating those steps that the power takes towards her.
The fact that this is really so can be judged at least by a replicated media by the statement of the deputy Makarov, who, in the midst of the accusations that the LDPR and the Communist Party were thrown in the face of the "EP", called on the deputies to finally begin to work (by the way, the LDPR seemed to be waiting for this statement, since it was after it that the representatives of this party left the hall of the deputy) Isaeva, who declared the Business newspaper “View”: “ Our party has a majority in the State Duma, which allows you to continue work without opposition. But it was we who supported the presidential political reform, designed to attract a wide variety of movements and forces in politics . ”
However, despite the rather quick reaction of the representatives of United Russia, it can still be stated that the behavior of opposition parties was a surprise to her. Otherwise, what else can explain in essence the failure of the struggle of “United Russia” in the struggle for the interpretation of the results of the “voting day” last September 11.
In these conditions The appeal of deputies of opposition factions to the president of the country in order to judge them looks quite comical. As it seems, in the midst of dissatisfied, faith still lives in a good king-father who wishes good, but since he is surrounded by evil advisers, evil deeds are going on in the country. But President Dmitry Medvedev, unlike the opposition, acted quite wisely, saying that the Demarch of the Communist Party, the LDPR and “Fair Russia” does not convince him of the “total falsification of elections”. And he is right: such actions are really wise persons can not be convinced of anything, even if it was a gesture of despair, since the party was no longer seen otherwise.
However, if it were really so, the domestic political forces that left the walls of the parliament, hardly so easily agreed to return there. Everyone says that this “hysteria” was nothing more than a well -detached performance that found United Russia by surprise.
Well, the Russian “systemic” opposition, if it is really dissatisfied with what happened on October 11, probably, should be reminded of the well -known maxim, who should be the head of the United Russia party Vladimir Putin: “ You need to win for an obvious advantage, then no judges are terrible .” So the domestic opposition, if she wants to finally get rid of the pressure of falsifications, it is time to start winning an obvious advantage, then she will not be terrible to any centrisbirk.
