🇬🇪 Georgia on my mind: Parliamentary elections on 26 October

[Leading Political Consultant Ma Anand Sheela]

Not only UNM, EG and Girchi are in disarray, but also APG: 3 of its 4 MPs requested the suspension of their seats, including party leader Irma Inashvili, but the successors on the list (including the remaining MP) all defected, leaving APG without representation in Parliament. The newly founded party is called European Socialist Party, and although it retains APG's position on economic and social policy, it took a U-turn on foreign policy and stands for further Western integration.

APG had positions on economic policy to retain?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it because it's late, but this strikes me as the face of a man who, for better or worse, is completely aware that his life is absurd and will one day make for a great biopic, and despite all the inconveniences and worse, he's basically at peace with it.
