Because a party needs to achieve at least 5 percent of the votes cast nationwide in order to be represented in parliament, the UDMR--the only ethnic-Hungarian party able to run under its own name--could find itself without any elected legislators in Bucharest when the next parliament sits. www.unpo.org /article.php?id=1351   (1643 words)
