Regarding the upcoming parliamentary elections, it is obvious and indisputable that there will be at least two major poles: the government and the opposition.
In the segment of the government, it is understandable, several small parties or alliances operating in the "Pashinyan field" will appear, which, as shown by the previous elections, including TIM, do not have a chance of 5 percent. Maximum: 1-2, maximum: 3 percent.
And the problem of their somehow being involved in the election campaign is to pulverize votes or, at the most, to introduce at least one of their own satellites into the National Assembly with some forgery, "scamming". In the second pole, of course, is the real, radical opposition.
First of all, we are talking about the parliamentary opposition and the "Our way" movement, as well as several other parties, which may act as an alliance. In addition to all this, a third party is emerging which, willingly or unwillingly (we would like to hope unwillingly), works for Nikol Pashinyan's benefit. By the way, this group can be conditionally divided into two parts.
One part, as we have already mentioned, are those who come up with an incomprehensible thesis "against everyone", including the initiative taken to form this thesis as a "self-dissolving party". It is obvious that it will again solve the issue of polling votes, which is beneficial exclusively to the authorities.
We already mentioned why it is beneficial in the previous publication. In the second conditional group of this series are those who slept, slept, then came out and announced that this or that figure, force should not participate in the elections.
This group is also interesting in that it targets possible main forces and figures who are definitely overcoming the transient threshold, if not to say, at least a winner with a united effort.
It is possible that the goal of those who insist on the non-participation of others is the hope that the non-participation of the figures they target will already enable them to collect certain percentages. But first, it is directly against the principle of democracy. On the other hand, it is exactly a Nicolas position.
As a number of experts point out, it is not excluded that Nikol Pashinyan may go that way, by some means, with the undisguised and cynical support of the West, prohibiting the participation of one or another force in the upcoming elections. And in general, no one can say and decide who will be nominated and who will not be nominated.
In theory, anyone eligible to be elected can run. Voters will decide who they elect. This is, of course, if we do not count the number of election frauds expected by the authorities. But that is another issue, which should be tackled together again, and now, in any case, we think it is not worth paying tribute to the latent governmental approaches.
