Everything is relative. A week ago the “United Russia” held not triumphant primaries. Encouraging turnout on the ground, a scattering of revelations of former political heavyweights, predestined result in some districts – preliminary voting left political opponents a lot of reasons to mock procedure, so unlike the American national hysteria. However, the experts noted a number of advantages. Precious time the competition was won, the formalities are met. The most odious and uncomfortable figure out, and the winners will form a final list, which will win a landslide, or not win in the upcoming Duma elections.
Over the weekend the trick was echoed by their colleagues from the party PARNAS. Kasyanov and his team, in accordance with all democratic canons, were supposed to show the ignorant under the flags with bears, and everything else, what is the real primaries…
From the former Prime Minister, as from a man with a sock tucked into the pant leg, no one was expecting much. Inadequate for a real man and a great politician reaction to the “fat Troll” Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, out of nowhere surfaced “home video” dubious sexuality, untimely quarrel with the leadership of Yabloko, Alexei Navalny and Ilya Yashin, the sabotage of the single voting day – all this had neither high ratings nor the buzz around the event. But this disaster has surpassed wildest expectations! 7475 primary voters to 145 million people in the country – if somewhere in Hell there is the plinth, the PARNAS party for him the day before nailed. But it’s not all the humiliation that had experienced political force and its supporters last week.
In the midst of a vote in open access got the entire database of the democratic electorate with carefully written names, surnames, addresses, e-mail and passwords private offices of the party website. Everyone could come on behalf of any party primaries and vote for the “democratic future” of the country. Your humble servant in the experiment contributed to the procedure by voting on behalf of one of the “burned” and has already made a poor choice for 12 potential deputies of the state Duma. The website for this reason even batted an eye, and with pleasure swallowed a diversion by writing to each candidate at one point. And in the case of wilful misconduct to pad the vote in their favor, probably, would come up with a more interesting scheme.
“If I would be cynical and arrogant, you would have bought the SIM cards as much as I should, and registered voters as many times as necessary. Possible – through special sites to work. I was silent because I didn’t want to upset you. In short, no more of Parnassus. After this not stand” – disappointed sighs in Facebook one of the participants in the primaries Kirill Shulika, who took over the procedure of the “lucky” 13th place.
Kasyanov himself after puncture made several statements, which essentially boils down to the fact that the site is hacked “klyatyh Muscovites” and agents of the Kremlin, and the voting results in the formation of the list will not be counted, or will be, or will be so far as. Curtain. “The democratic party of Russia” have not mastered the primitive procedure. If you would bother to, and organized a vote with papers – good would it do, probably more. Thus, the justified expectations of the Russian political analysts from the Kremlin pool, thought not on the electoral victory will be to bet the former Prime Minister.
“If the answer to the question “Who benefits?” and an attached question :”Who cares about them, this elusive Joe,the party “Parnas”? – the answer can be only one. Mikhail Mikhailovich Kasyanov is profitable, because after suffering with this shame fat aunt, for him, the primaries could only end badly” – ironically once ally Kasyanov and liberals on the “Strategy 31” the writer Eduard Limonov.
The relative triumph of the story looks loose in time Alexei Navalny. A former lawyer and a candidate for mayor of the capital, and now just blogger continues to dog Kasyanov from the pages of social networking. “Executive leaders of Parnas needs to resign after this. The shame and discredit and sabotage,” the verdict makes hard flagship belolentochnikov, he campaigned for some candidates. Still not lost the remnants of political intuition former adviser to Kirov region Governor Nikita Belykh.
The list of losers after the failure of the Democrats is far more extensive: it is the ideological supporters of the party, genuinely experiencing the death of Boris Nemtsov, who wrote in good faith election program, campaigned, put forward the slogans. Rose-colored glasses of the Westerners was broken glass inside, injuring the eyes and face are the most naive. However, the joke not only they, but also all Russia, which, at least, still have a few years to exist without a hint of a political alternative that was not to the benefit of any state or the ruling regime.
