Electoral fever has subsided in our homeland. Citizens could have made a choice in the second circular between the associate of the CPAC Yankee Conference and the associate of the Impact Yankee Conference.
Many Nadwiślański, experts’ and politicians teach the Russian Federation about democracy and elections. In Russia, however, elections are much more proportional and so fair.
Multiparty
The Russian Federation's dominant function is played by the multi-diversity organization 1 Russia. An crucial component on the Russian political scene is the Communist organization of the Russian Federation. Since the 2021 election, we have a coalition in Duma formed around the Justice Russia Group. Fair Russia – Patriots – For fact – was the name of a block centered around Righteous Russia in 2021. SR is simply a prosocial group with large elements of Eurasianism. besides any veterans of the Ukrainian-Russian conflict are associated with this coalition (a well-known Russian author was associated with the coalition Zachar Prilepin). In Duma there is besides a organization of well-known politics in Poland Vladimir Zyrinski – Liberal-Democratic organization of Russia. Fractions in the Russian parliament besides have the organization fresh People, which brings together average liberals, both in economical and global relations issues.
Partial disputes
At the same time, political strategy consolidation took place with peculiar Military Operations in the Russian Federation. Many people forget that before the SOW 1 Russia had very strong political disputes with the Communist organization of the Russian Federation, specified as in the Chabarovian Country. There has been consolidation, but the liberal-democratic organization stands out on the Russian political scene. After Zyrinski died, the organization took over Leonid Słucki. Słucki is simply a supporter of Moscow's close cooperation with Ankara and Baku, as opposed to any of the politicians of the 1 Russia, where there are not shortages of pro-ormia politicians, specified as Konstantin Zatulin, Vice-President of the Duma Committee for the Commonwealth of Independent States or Vitali Milonov, advocate for the ban of Turkish series in the Russian Federation.
Large preference
In Poland, the d’Hondt method is utilized in elections to the Sejm, provincial seymists, municipal councils, territory councils. This method favours parties with large election results. The parties with a worse score have a chance of getting tickets only if there are quite a few tickets to be taken in the constituency. The Hare-Niemmeyer method is in force in Russia, which is beneficial for a organization with worse results. This method was utilized in elections to the Sejm in Poland only in 1991.
Multicolored JOW
The single-mandate Electoral Districts have been in force since 2011 in the legislature elections. It has never happened that a senator has been made unconnected to the COPIS and their appetizers (I mean erstwhile a candidate beat a candidate supported by the Law and Justice and a candidate supported by the PO and the appetizer). The Russian Federation has mixed electoral ordination. Half of Duma is elected in proportional elections at the 5% electoral threshold and half at JOW. During the 2021 election, the JOW besides won insignificant organization candidates. In Bacchortosatno he won a ticket in JOW Rifat Szajchutdinov, who in his territory defeated candidate 1 Russia and Communist organization of the Russian Federation[1]. In 1 of the JOWs in St. Petersburg she won a ticket Oksana Dimitrieva from the pro-Western Growth Party, which in its territory defeated candidates of the 1 Russia and Communist organization of the Russian Federation[2]. In Tambów he earned a ticket Alexey Craneev from the Homeland Party. Craneev in his territory defeated candidates representing the 1 Russia and the Communist organization of the Russian Federation[3].
Local representativeness problems
There are tiny constituencies in the provincial Sejm elections, hence parties somewhat above the electoral threshold have a problem getting tickets. In 2018, Kukiz’15 won 5,63% in the national elections to provincial seymites, in 12 voivodships he exceeded the 5% electoral threshold, and did not win any parliamentary mandate. In 2024, the Confederate and Unpartisan Local Governments scored 7.23% on a national scale, the committee exceeded the electoral threshold in each voivodship. Despite this, KiBS won only 6 tickets, which they obtained in 5 voivodships (even in 11 voivodships, despite exceeding the electoral threshold, KiBS candidates did not get tickets). The pathological situation occurred in the elections to the city council of Chorzów in 2018. In these elections KWW Kukiz’15 scored 6.85%, KWW Silesian Regional organization won 6.16%, KWW Independent Chorzów won 5.61% and despite the electoral threshold being exceeded by each of these election committees, no of them won a mandate[4] (The effect was that there was only COPIS on the city council). However, in the election to Zabrze City Council in 2024 KWW Alina Nowak jointly won 8.05% for Zabrzan, and KW Zabrzańska Social Initiative won 5.77%, and it was the committee with less votes that won the mandate alternatively than the 1 with more due to the fact that KW Zabrzańska Social Initiative had very large support in 1 of the constituency constituency[5].
Proportional Donbas
The Donetsk Oblast, the Kherson Oblast, the Zaporosian Oblast, the Lugansk Oblast are considered by most countries in the planet to belong to Ukraine. According to the Russian Constitution, these areas belong to the Russian Federation. As Russia recognises these areas as part of the state, local elections had to be held there. Elections to the People's Council were held in Lugansk People's Republic. The election results were as follows: 1 Russia – 74.63% votes, 39 seats, LDPR – 9.87% votes, 5 seats, KPFR – 7.5% votes, 4 seats, and Fair Russia – 5.56% votes, 2 seats)[6]. In the Donetsk People's Republic 1 Russia scored 78.03%, KPFR – 6.43%, the organization led by Leonid Słucki gained 6.25%, and fresh People – 5.14%[7]. All groups that have crossed the electoral threshold have their representatives. 1 Russia has 74 tickets for 90 tickets, KPFR 6 tickets, the Liberal-Democratic organization of Russia won 6 tickets, and fresh People 4 tickets.
POPiSu electoral system
Soviet politicians like to teach Russians erstwhile it comes to democracy, elections. Meanwhile, it is in the Russian political strategy that elections are much more proportional, giving the full choice made by citizens of the Russian Federation. Unlike Poland, it is in Russian JOW that candidates who are not supported by the strongest political parties can break through. alternatively of dealing with Russia, Nadwiślański politicians should deal with the improvement of the electoral strategy in Poland, so that the nation feels that their candidates will be on the council of the city, the council of the county, the regional council. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be changing due to the fact that the current electoral order is beneficial for the COPIS.
