The majority of Ukrainians do not believe there will be a fair election for the Verkhovna Rada this fall, but expect a change for the better after the vote, Research and Branding Group said. It polled 2,078 people in 24 regions of Ukraine and Crimea on March 22 - April 1, 2012.

Sixty-six percent of the respondents said that the election would not be fair, and only 18% disagreed. Sixteen percent found it difficult to tell.

Forty percent expect positive changes after the election, 34% do not predict any change, and 20% think things may change for the worse.

The election is scheduled for October 28, 2012.

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result! Obviously Ukrainians by definition are INSANE as they are willing to let Yanukovych again fraudulently "win" the election and this will somehow make him BETTER and less corrupt and Ukrainians will then live HAPPY as long as he reigns.

"The majority of Ukrainians do not believe there will be a fair election for the Verkhovna Rada this fall, but expect a change for the better after the vote"...How? By magic? INSANITY!!!

THEY DESERVE EVERYTHING THEY GET. KICK THEIR STUPID ASSES GOOD!
