“2015 was a record year in the history of Ukraine in terms of the number of registered political forces. In the first 4 months, 27 new political parties were registered. If we ignore holidays, it turns out that every week two new political parties are registered. For comparison: previously 5-7 political parties were registered per year,” he said.
In his opinion, the rule on electoral blocs should be returned to the electoral legislation, since such a rule will contribute to the structuring of the political space and reducing the number of small political parties.
“For these blocs, it may also be worth increasing the threshold - if for parties in local elections it is 3%, then for blocs it could be 5%. For megablocks that unite 5 or more parties, it would be advisable to set it at 7%,” says Alexey Koshel.
