Opposition wins Kazakh Legislative Election!

[Hash]

Haha, made you look!

Of course they didn't, Nazarbayev's won 88.05% and the opposition 4.62%. The question is- will the opposition keep its only seat?

In 2004, the Fatherland party barely won 60%, the Democratic Party won 12% (now they won 3%)

Is it really surprising that Central Asian elections are jokes?

So much for "Free Elections" in nations of the former Soviet Union. I guess they don't know what life would be like without a Dictator.

I wonder why President Nazarbayev's party, would bother rigging an election when they know they're going to defeat their opponents by 60 percentage points. I think Nazarbayev's Government is trying to get up from 124th on the Corruption list to number 1, so they can be famous for something else than Borat.

The election results are worthless since they were rigged, if it had been free, it would have been much closer. And the opposition would have had gained seats.

Actually, on the corruption index, 1 is the best score, 163 being the worst. Kazakhstan is 111 and to be 163rd you need to beat other charming government, such as Sudan, Haiti, Belarus, Iraq, the DRC. Its not like they're the only nation wanting to be last.

Wow, what a generalization. Nations of the former Soviet Union include countries with freedom level ranging from 1 (highest) to 7 (lowest) according to the Freedom House.

Of course its a huge and awful generalization, just look at Lithuania, Estonia, or Latvia. And compare them with Turkmenistan and Belarus.

Oh, and Kireev, you forgot to post this
