| #1 Since the elections were condemned by the observers and the people, who rose up to protest, and now by the Judiciary, it seems rather obvious that the poll is invalid in the minds of everyone who counts. The people "elected" in the flawed poll have precisely zero future as officeholders - trying to hang onto the seat is the surest means of losing it, it seems to me. This seems to be a tempest in a teacup, anyway - their SC has ruled. The breathless BBC reporting is rather hyped and the OSCE actions, if they deem it "urgent" as reported, seem to be blown out of proportion -- as a simple explanation that they can choose to disband - or face the crowds - should suffice to dissuade the wannabee legislators, heh. |
