It turns out that there is a party called the “December 5 Party”. The party is small, most recently in the past elections did not participate, but released a statement which summed up the elections of deputies of the State Duma of the seventh convocation of representatives of the Russian opposition.
The statement, “Party on 5 December” has only 4 points, which describe the reasons that prevented the candidates from the opposition parties to achieve a decent result in the elections.
At the beginning of his statement, “Party fifth of December” focuses on the fact that the system is at fault for her poor and miserable opposition members do not normally get elected. Similar excuses many times heard from the party “Yabloko”, which after every failure, comforting themselves by talking about the injustice to them.
After uninteresting introductory part of the “December 5 Party” goes to the analysis of the incident. The results of the opposition in the 2016 elections unsatisfactory. The final mark is a serious defeat. “The democratic parties had failed to offer voters an attractive image of Russia’s future, to associate in the minds of voters democratic values and their own interests“. The main reasons for failure: fragmentation, lack of common agreements, the führer of the party leaders. That is, in the opinion of the “Party on 5 December” has led opposition to the failure in the Duma elections. “We believe that the disunity of the democratic forces has become one of the causes of unsuccessful even for existing conditions through their participation in the elections“.
Further, the party invites the opposition to refuse to participate in Federal elections and will focus on the municipal level. “The expediency of the participation in the next Federal election campaign — the presidential election — considerable doubt“.
It turns out that a political “dwarf” from “Party on 5 December” trying to reason with his older brothers of Parnas and Yabloko. Trying to convince them to stop fighting with each other. But it’s hardly the “December 5 Party” has sufficient authority in opposition to the party that her opinion will listen. Moreover, Mr. Yavlinsky said he plans to nominate a candidate for participation in the upcoming presidential election.
