Here is the electoral map from the last real election… this pattern held for 20 years… the only reason that the present winners won was that many voters stayed home and the Uniate junta banned two opposition parties… Great Democracy!
______________________________
The expected Uniate offensive hasn’t materialised yet. My contacts do NOT trust this lull. Mostly, I’ve heard that the Uniate junta is in disarray, as the Rabbit has turned on his former benefactor, Yuliya the Landshark. Is it on American orders? Yatsenyuk is stupid if he thinks that he can outsmart Yuliya Vladimirovna… she’s not a survivor for nothing, and he forgets that the only way that he got close to power was as her bagman. Some tell me that the Rabbit, Turdchinov, and Avakov (the Triumvirate) want to freeze out Yuliya completely from a “national unity” government. The present election actually showed the weakness of the Uniate junta… only 51 percent of the eligible voters showed up (the last real Rada election had a 58 percent turnout)… with higher numbers in the Lvovshchina and Kiev, but lower numbers elsewhere. One could say that Uniates, schismatical Orthodox, and Prods came out in greater than usual percentages, whilst the normal Orthodox population showed a lower rate of participation. Besides this, since the KPU and Regions were off the ballot, many of their supporters simply stayed away. To put it another way, a vast majority of minority elements showed up, whilst a majority of the majority refused to take part.
In short, this was a slippery corrupt election that even Cook County and Hudson County would repudiate. When you factor in the widespread ballot-stuffing… well, you can see where I’m going. The junta Rada is now LESS legit than it was. Look for the situation to become unstable and fairly quickly… Darlin’ Yuliya won’t appreciate being shunted to the side by the likes of the Triumvirate (the Rabbit’s sister DOES live in the USA and Langley could use her as a pawn). It won’t be boring…

7 March 2015. The Rada Election of 2014: Novorossiya and Malorossiya Clearly Delineated (Also Bukovina and Podkarpatskaya Too!)

Do you want to know where Malorossiya is? That’s the area that’s mostly “green”. Do you want to know where Novorossiya is? That’s the area that’s mostly “orange-red”. These regions are easy to pick out, and they haven’t changed since 1991. The boundaries are those of the oblasts… do note that in the southwest two oblasts had lower turnout. The one with red is Podkarpatskaya, where the Rusin and Magyar hate the Galicians. The other, with slightly more voting, is Chernovtsy Oblast (Bukovina)… the Romanians hate the Galicians with the same intensity as the Rusins and Magyars do. Here’s the interesting point… virtually all groups, no matter on the level of their participation in the 2014 election, oppose the war and oppose the junta’s conscription campaign. They all evade the Voenkom. In other words, the junta didn’t unite anyone… on the contrary, they may have made things worse. This is a map to ponder.
