Talk:Party of Regions

522: 549: 585:

In 2006, 27% of voters supported minor party candidates who did not receive more then the minimum 3% representation threshold. In 2007, only 7% of the electorate supported minor party (Including the socialists) This and the regional distribution results and swing tables indicate that most of Yulia Tymoshenko's support came from a consolidation of the minor party vote in regions where Yulia Tymosheko was already the leading party. BUT of course they do not want to publish this fact preferring instead, aided and abbetted by corrupt admistrators and other editors, push a pro-presidetial partisan bias POV, bringing Knowledge into international disrepute.

541: 532: 512: 1175: 182: 158: 74: 53: 1885: 192: 926:? In my opinion, an encyclopedic article on a political party should restrict itself to electoral results and should exclude their performance in opinion polls, as they can change very quickly and usually don't have that great political impact (compared to elections). In some years, it is not interesting whether the party's opinion poll ratings have risen or dropped in late 2011. Do you agree? Regards -- 84: 300: 282: 310: 22: 254: 1825: 1784: 863: 873: 1349:

The opening sentence of the article says it's a terrorist group. I know they're certainly not a good political party but that looks like vandalism to me. I would change it but I can't find how long that sentence has been like that and several edits have been made since in the past few months. It's

The Party of Regions had increased their percentage of the vote in 2007. The number of people overall participating in the election was less then in 2006. It is false and misleading to make a comparison and claim that the parties vote was less the before whilst selectively leaving out other facts of

The number of votes received by Our Ukraine in 2007 was significantly less the the number of votes received by the Party of Regions. It is interesting that editors o Wiklipedia selectivly highlight false and misleading statistics and do not apply the same policies to there ow supported party. FACT

line. The main political idea of this party since its creation and until recently was its being a pro-Government party and pro-Kuchma party as the article correctly notes. Now, the party is in opposition not because the government is to the left or to the right from this party but because the power

If you also look more closely at the results will will noticed that there was a consolidation of Yulia Tymoshenko's vote at the expense of the Socialist Party ad our Ukraine. In fact Our Ukraine lost significantly more votes then Party of Regions but the editors have not mentioned that fact on Our

Thus, the usual left-right terminology does not apply and using it in the article may be misleading for an unfamiliar reader. The fact that the party's populist rhetoric (also being not particularly left or right wing) appeals to some true sentiments of significant part of population also does not

as their international affiliation? IMO just because they have signed a collaboration agreement with UR does not mean we should list them as the PR's 'international affiliation' (usually, international, supranational affiliations like Liberal Internationalist or Socialist International go there).

896:

I've removed 'conservatism' that a user had added into the infobox as their ideology. First, it is reasonable to expect the EPP-affiliated Our Ukraine and BYuT to represent conservatism in Ukraine, and it seems dubious to label their main opponents as such. Second, it makes no sense to link this

Thanks for creating this article! The article about this major party in UA was missing for too long. I edited an article somewhat and would like to elaborate a little on one point. Before my edit the party was called "centrist". I think it's incorrect to call it so. The centrist party, is the

There is serious discussio that once Yushshenko can secure more power and support for a return to a Presidetial Authoriratian regime and a possible second term he will dissmiss Yulia Tymochenko and appoint someone of his own chosing. Ukraine can expect fresh early elections later this year

but the issue is if they are a right wing or centrist party. Perhaps we should divide this section to be specific on both fiscal and social levels? I'd say according to the right wing wiki page, they are perfect in regards to economic and religious. In what ways are they left or centrist?

971:

I don't think authoritarianism should be put in the ideology section, just because some journalist or political analyst says that the party is authoritative, that doesn't mean that the party adopted that ideology because the party didn't announce that publicly.

The first ref is a claim by a Polish state-financed think tank (hardly neutral); the second is no longer accessible, but appears to had been a blog entry. Until we see something more serious than that, such extraordinary statements don't belong in the infobox.

well, i guess in hindsight we can absolutely say they are pro-Russian in terms of their foreign policy. In terms of domestic, they did make Russian an official regional language, if only because making Russian an official state language would cause too much

Need a little time to think about that... A 15% drop in 3 years 1 year before new elections and mainly because the party is loosing votes to the Communist Party of Ukraine is in itself noticable. I am not sure yet this info qualifies for

Yes, PoR increased their proportion of the national vote by 2.23% but BYut increased their proportion by far more, so the proportion of support for BYuT's compared to PoR increased, so BYuT gained some seats and PoR lost some. --
