party of regions have it in the bag BEFORE voting start.......do not UNDERESITMATE Yank and the mafia.....
The single member First-past-the-post voting system is inherently undemocratic.The candidate with the highest vote wins. The winner can have less than 50% support and as little as 30%. The more parties contesting a single member seat the ore likely it is that the winner candidate will not hold a majority support. With a number of opposition parties competing against each other the issa favour Teh Governmnet forces. Analysis of the first round of presidential voting in 2010 indicates that the Government will win most of the singe member constituencies.
the opposition will regret their decision to support the restoration of a split dual mandate MMP system.
a better option would have been to establish a singke chamber with 50 or 90 local multi member electorates with 9 or 5 members elected in each electorate. The method of election being by a system of STV proportional representation with a 10% or 16.7% quota.
The above model would have been fair and equitable and meets the requirements and recommendation outlindped by the Venice commission.
