	CHAPTER IX
		The Greater Romania form of speech became a drug meant to medicate the growing shortcomings of everyday life by identifying a well-defined perpetrator: international capital which was striving to buy Romania for nothing; the Hungarians who longed to retake Transylvania; the new politicians, already corrupted, who made easy money by selling their offices.
		The birth of the Greater Romania Party, in May 1991, was mainly welcomed with smiles and reticence by political analysts and the media.
		Greater Romania took over from the Legionary Movement the idea of the everlasting culpability of the political class, who are forever incompetent and corrupt, and therefore must be replaced with representatives of the Party.

		That means that the three smaller parties that would cross the 5 percent electoral threshold (the Greater Romania Party, with 8 percent; the Hungarian Democratic Federation of Romania, with 7.7 percent; and the Humanist Party with 5 percent) would have the final say in the composition of the next government.
		Not only did Gheorghe Funar of the extremist Greater Romania Party fail in his bid for a fourth term as mayor of Cluj, but the PRM scored a meager 8 percent in the county council elections.
		This is likely to produce in Romania a "2+2" or a "2+3" political system, with two major formations and two or three smaller ones, and in which the latter exert an influence out of all proportion to their actual strength.

		IRI is assisting local political party organizations in expanding their citizen outreach and strengthening their county and local organizations.
		The preliminary results of Romania's June 2004 local elections were consistent with the findings of an IRI-commissioned March 2004 national survey which showed that two-thirds of Romanians thought a major change in government was needed, yet only 42 percent felt there was indeed a viable alternative to the current governing party.
		Parties therefore will have to work hard to dispel the perception of unaccountability, unresponsiveness and entrenched corruption in order to become true vehicles for democratic governance, and gain the respect and concurrence of the governed.

		Furthermore, the postelectoral evolution of both the PNL and the Democratic Party as formations courting nationalism attests not only to the poverty of what post-Commun ist Romanian political elites are able to offer the electorate, but also is doomed to fail.

		He also won a clear majority in the province of Transylvania, which is home to Romania's large Hungarian minority, whom he frequently attacks for their alleged "disloyalty" to Romania.
