Fallen Opposition Had Better Resign From Parliament
After the voting to the program of government yesterday Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan thanked the opposition `although it is weak and
split'. Tigran Sargsyan did not miss the opportunity to underline the
misery of the opposition.
The `nay' votes of the opposition legitimized the program of the
government and secured the `revolution of mind'.
The forces referred to as opposition are also to be blamed for their
current state. Political complexes, constant temptation of deals
allowing to access to the feeder, treatment of politics as a means of
getting rich and absence of ideas prevent them from
self-accomplishment.
The RPA again rejected the proposal on amendments to the Electoral
Code providing for publication of the lists of voters. The opposition
claims that the lists allow the ruling party to falsify elections and
`win'.
The rejection of the RPA means that it intends to use this advantage
in the next election. And the humiliating statements addressed to the
opposition mean that the ruling party thinks the opposition has
failed.
Three elections were held during the past year. Every time the experts
called to boycott the election which is a show with a predetermined
scenario. However, every time the opposition brought arguments for
running in the election and urged people to take part in the show as
well.
The opposition has failed indeed, and the ruling party has become
stronger and brazen, drunken with political blood. People elected us,
the Republicans say. They are one thousand times rights, and the
opposition helped them by running in the election.
Only a breakthrough will change the faulty electoral system. However,
no opposition party has urged to boycott the elections, as well as no
opposition party has called to refrain from shopping in supermarkets
owned by oligarchs, paying for expensive gas and disobeying
unconstitutional laws. All the opposition could do was to rally people
on the square and complain of the government.
After the latest humiliation in parliament the opposition has only one
way out - resign. What is the purpose of staying in parliament if the
Republican parliamentary group has enough votes to pass any law? An
interesting debate? But what will it change?
The opposition parties could take a strong step if they resigned. But
which of them is ready to give away their immunity and privileges,
business trips and cars which they get in parliament?
