Amazing - it's 3 am here, five hours since the polling stations closed, and they still haven't got the turnout information...

  1. We are watching (you) too.

    I dont read Ukrainian.

    The 3% threshold makes a lot of sense. Turkey has it at 10% and this caused only 2 parties to get into parliament, and the Islamists who got only 32% of the vote, now hold 66% of the seats in parliament.

  2. THIS IS REALLY IDIOTIC

    Pora is getting 2% of the vote, and less than threshold.

    If this 2% had gone to Yush, it would have made a HUGE DIFFERENCE.

    This is IDIOTIC (to vote for Pora). It can never get 3%. Pora should have declared in favor of Yush (or Yulia).

    Talking of "cutting your own nose to spite your face". Welcome to lunacy.

  3. I think the reasonable rules are that you can always stand in a public spot and photograph what you can see. Now a tent erected on a public spot with a permit, can be argued to be private. There is nothing stopping you from photographing from outside.

    I wonder what she is going to do when 6 mega pixel digital cameras with 1 GB of memory become $25 each. Everybody will have a camera in their pockets. How is she going to protest? heh heh

  4. Looks like Kostenko & Pliushch are NOT going to make 3%.

    This is even more reason why they did not put their vote in favor of Yush?

    Now half their votes will be given to Yanu for free.

    The top 4 (UNB, Pora, Renaissence, Viche) who do NOT get into parliament have 7% of the vote.

    It should have been given to Yush or Yul. WHAT A MISTAKE.

  6. What is this in Ukrainian? This is dated 6:54 am, but for some reason it shows Yanu at 34% ??? But the official stat at this time shows 21%.

  7. nona-- the title at the top of the page indicates (if I read correctly) that those are the votes tallied from voters outside the country.

    I think it's a shame that Pora didn't make it past 3%, but the way to fix that is with more votes for them, not less. :-)
