Russian legislative "elections", 2007

[Verily]

I would cheer for Yabloko, but it's not even worth it. It's hard to fathom that only 2% of Russians want an effective and accountable government, and the rest are willing to vote for autocracy and stagnation.

Actually its 3%, as SPS is basically an ideologically conservative version of Yabloko.

Ah, true. Forgot about SPS. Still equally depressing.

People should vote for Yabloko, not the KPRF. Neither have any chance of winning, but Yabloko is the saner opposition than a bunch of Stalin-lovers.

At the least the commies will win some seats in the Duma... Yabloko will pretty much win nothing.

They could hold on to some of their district seats.
