The Supreme Court at the request of the Justice Ministry this week eliminated 7 political parties. Three of them have been linked to political consultant Andrei Bogdanov, rest 4 - various small parties. In this way, the number of active parties in Russia will fall from 61 to 54. Despite the elimination of several organizations cries of "pinching democracy" can not be heard, for the reason, that very few people these parties generally needed. Nevertheless, in our opinion, this is quite an interesting event for the development of the Russian political system. not bad, that is interesting.
All parties having liquidated in 2012 year, when the law was made serious concessions and new organizations began to spring up like mushrooms after the rain. are honest, most of these projects have been political from the outset stillborn. And a large proportion were "spoilers", whose sole task - to take away votes from the really existing parties.
The abundance of parties on the ballot advantageous leaders. Vote, cast for the party Not Last "barrier", divided proportionally among the winners. Most goes to the party, won first place. I.e, overwhelmingly, "United Russia". But even for these utilitarian purposes 60 parties - obviously too. Very many started to 2012 , the general structure itself did not show. Nor as a living political force, nor as a "spoiler".
However, among just liquidated parties were quite a living projects. So "Green Alliance" in 2012 It was established Mitvol to promote its environmental initiatives. AT 2015 Mitvol of his brainchild came with scandal, but the party continued to live. AT 2018 Liliya Belova, put forward by this party, He took third place in the election of the governor of the Moscow region. But even the "Alliance" was not able to sustain enough light Ministry of Justice requirements (for 7 years, it was necessary to participate in any municipal election more, than half of Russian regions, victory is not needed). Soon the deadline for participation in the elections and are suitable for some other parties, so that their number will be reduced further in the coming years.
Our party system throughout the nearly thirty years of its history resembles a pendulum. Parties it becomes infinite set, their number is sharply reduced. Regularly there are rumors about the creation of "second party of power" - is based on the ONF, then under the leadership of deputy Poklonsky, else under any circumstances. Presumably, it is due to the fact, that create in 30 years of stable multi-party model can not be. Russia is still looking for the best balance sheet. Sooner or later the pendulum will stop. And then the new party projects will be born and to die is extremely rare.
