 ForUm :: Ukraine's Fractured Politics & Political Math
Ukraine's March 2006 parliamentary election campaign is underway with the orange camp divided and the political party leading in the polls, headed by ex-prime minister and former presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych, positioned to become the country's political powerbroker.
As part of the compromise to resolve the political upheaval after repeated vote fraud in the 2004 presidential election, then candidate Viktor Yushchenko agreed to political reforms -- to come into effect at the start of next year -- that will transform Ukraine from a presidential republic to parliamentary republic.
This could be explained as political attitudes and belief in state institutions change slowly in every political culture, but the lack of significant economic and political successes since the Orange Revolution also appears to be in play.

However, Moldova’s ill-developed political parties and fragile institutions would almost certainly limit the positive impact that might otherwise be expected – while leaving plenty of scope for the return to the sort of political instability of the 1990s.
