Political parties of modern Russia - multiply and multiply

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, political diversity is recognized in our country. The political parties of modern Russia offer a diverse choice that can be made based on individual beliefs and preferences. This justifies the existence of all kinds of political formations.

Nevertheless, since 2003, the parties of modern Russia are forced to admit that since the establishment of United Russia, the dominant system has actually been established in the country. In this case, any citizen of the country can notice the predominance of members of this party in practically all the existing authorities and local self-government (at the district and federal levels).

In our regiment arrived

Despite this, in 2012, the political parties of modern Russia have dramatically increased their number from 7 to 73. This was due to the liberalization of legislation that occurred after the mass protests of citizens in 2011. The adopted document simplified the procedure for the creation of political parties. At the same time, the minimum number of batch was significantly reduced.

This allowed small parties to also submit their application for registration. In addition to facilitating the procedure for general registration, there has also been a significant simplification of mandatory reporting. In the current legislation, the modern political parties of Russia also have the right to express the political will of their own electorate, to take part in all public or political events, in elections. Among other things, they can provide and lobby the interests of their citizens at all levels of government, as well as at the levels of local government. In addition, political parties of modern Russia must have their regional representations in at least half of the subjects of Russia. And the governing bodies of a political party must necessarily be located on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The political parties of modern Russia have the right to nominate candidates for elected positions. It is not excluded and the nomination of candidates for elections to the State Duma or to the legislative bodies of the subjects of the country.

Quantity does not mean quality

For the Russian Federation, a multi-party system is a new trend. But this does not hinder the creation and development of a variety of political parties. Modern society is also able to choose from the existing variety of parties exactly the one that will lobby and protect its specific interests. But simplification of the procedure for creating lots led to the emergence of a business that allows especially enterprising citizens to provide assistance for the creation of a party or in its subsequent resale for a fee.

Simple mathematics

According to the current legislation, citizens' votes, which were given for unsuccessful parties, can be distributed in favor of the past. This is in proportion to the votes cast by the parties. At the same time, an unsuccessful party that gained about 3 percent of the vote has the right to receive funding from the state. In order to adopt the federal law, it will be enough to collect half the votes of deputies, and to take federal constitutional law, about 70 percent of the votes are already required.
