for example but the there and the whole liberal party is in the duma and the liberal electorate did not show up at this election to not materialize so what three percent three quarters of the we obligated and lesser than the one percent for that for the right cause and. what we've got in this election is enormous shift like fifty percent shift to the left which is this is what you lost these exact oh it was only around fifteen percent which went to the porteous which are more left wing. you know in russia as putin explained that they cannot mix that europe was only a crisis because of the economic situation and because russia is a very paternalistic state russia's want more socialist absolutely russian political mainstream is very socialist people want to government to take care of them people want more government regulation. and many especially the older generation are in this. about the soviet past so that was not a liberal revolt against authoritarianism it was a socialist communist reward against the more liberal government which is. also supportive of big businesses so the

liberal not democrat that. very nationalist on their front of their one. is also anti communist. is coming together was you gonna fall for him is extremely difficult at the same time if you asked which party would be more eager to cooperate with the united russia then probably asking liberal democrats who number one for them it is easier to cooperate with the government so other is to do they have a sort of history of cooperation for four years sometimes getting some material even benefits from from from this corporation and that increases their lobbying potential. so. this coalition is possible but even in this duma if they come together then they will not have the majority they can stop constitutional laws they cannot stop the. i'm a legislation if united russia party is disciplined disciplined enough use said you personally as a political scientist as i can do that to the to the duma you don't consider the results of the outcome of the election as may you said but i want to ask you about vladimir putin he most likely will be the next president of the country and he has conditioned the candidacy of medvedev for the position of prime minister with a successful united russia result at the

to to to have internal discussion within the so-called political clubs within the poor to be a liberal. party they have a socially no social about social club and this will continue to work and they believe that will just encourage further internal discussion in the party for the simple reason the competition outside of the united russia party is still rather weak and the full story about that as a russian citizen but very the competition is weak not because the united russia presses down this competition but the reason is that our competitors are there for three or four political parties who participated in this election who are more or less left wing they they they represent the same ideology they are one right wing party but many of the liberal party is outside of this process and for them i believe the only way to to be competitive and to chase united russia is to get united but this is the case for the next election really just briefly the president talked about possible alliances that we could see what party could you see united russia perhaps forming a coalition even when we get our ow

ok again we'll have a new duma where these liberal parties will not be having any seats you know we have to look at these think from two perspectives from overall results of course yeah because the result is not so great but from yabloko own perspective we can just see that they are almost doubled even if not triple there is also from the previous to that and from this site they will be able to rely on governmental financial support until the next election and we'll be able to develop and prepare better for the next election and maybe to gain some more result so i think this is not the worst result for for for a right but in russia nowadays i was actually you know i was actually going to point out that if we take a look at all of the seven parties that took part made gains except for united russia western media not speaking about that at all ok reporting about the arrests that were on the. square about in st petersburg very little reporting on the fact that united russia had great losses compared to in two thousand and seven fourteen percent i think and i don't know it's not goin

favorite darling candidates boris nemtsov and grigory yavlinsky they didn't go to the pro western liberal parties they went instead to the communist party twenty years after the end of the soviet union the communist party has twenty percent of the vote in russia they went to fair russia which is a patriotic conservative party and of course they went to the extreme right zhirinovsky party these three parties i think in comparison to mr putin's united russia. i would have thought pretty unwelcoming western chancellor is exactly on if i can go to you first and actually tell my viewers where are you have located did actually quite well that we did very well in two different. polling stations and they were in london and in washington d.c. so yeah and what do you think that says about these liberal parties because just as john laughlin pointed out united russia took a beating it's got certainly a bloody nose but those votes didn't go to. liberal parties ok again we'll have a new duma where these little parties will not be having any seats you know we have to look at these think from two perspectives fr

which is which is set up by the muslim brotherhood but you have a whole wide range of secular liberal parties in that coalition too and it's very unlikely that the freedom and justice party will form a coalition and even said it expressed it. openly that they will not form a coalition with the with the salafist extremist islamists they're going to stick with liberal parties so. at the moment it looks unlikely that so-called extremist islamist government will take control in egypt and i can have a journalist so many that speak to us live from jerusalem. now russia has been speaking out for its draft u.n. resolution on syria in the face of attempts by the u.s. and its allies to see the text changed but moscow insists it's drawn up a balanced approach to solving the crisis the drama condemns all sides in the ongoing conflict calling for the violence to stop ruling out foreign intervention and sanctions washington wants the blame for the bloodshed on the damascus of already low it also a way to knowledge that the opposition is despite thousands of army defectors claimed to be five deplane down th

get a decent education in britain and actually behind the scenes all the time nick clegg and the liberal party had done a deal with the conservative party that they were actually going to increase tuition fees so no wonder young people actually feel betrayed many of them voted for the liberal democrat party in the first time they were ever allowed to vote here in britain and actually found a deal or been done behind their backs now these youngsters are not stupid they can see when you've got a crooked corrupt and rotten political class and it's about what i would call kind of checkerboard politics where you've got all the three main political parties have something going for them however small tiny on a large majority of what i was political parties are doing it why don't you hear from barry. so you're not so you can hear me i don't want to thank you because we have our special new year's coverage and we're getting closer to midnight here in moscow tony goldwyn leibert. a lot on the line from bristol oh ok. december in moscow usually sees the streets filled with snow but first short while this

effective has it actually that he didn't have any effect at all because basically anonyma their liberal party is now the small party has made it to five percent according to the new legislation if you have five percent you can put one deputy the duma there didn't happen none of these parties nearly scored five percent so if that didn't happen does this election next to change anything well i think. change very important thing now united russia doesn't have a constitutional majority so it will not be able to change the political system of the country simple hand it will need the support or other parties but i'm not sure that will contribute to democracy because for example united russia floated a deal of you know returning back to a system when we had. a so-called single mandate elections when people actually knew who they voted for not just voted for party lists this is actually a democratic measure that would allow some of the non-systemic opposition trying to get into the duma but i'm sure this move will be supported by the opposition parties which are interested in maintaining the system t

has more but i was talking to the heads of the liberal democratic party's national headquarters here in moscow and he told me that under no circumstances would the liberal democrats enter into a coalition with any of the party now he also told me that under no circumstances would united russia finish below a fair russia could tell you the results a telling saying something completely different right now a fair russia having jumped just above the liberal democrats the lib dems currently just under twelve percent of the vote is what they've got now twelve percent is an increase on two thousand and seven and two thousand and seven they picked up eight percent turning them forty seats in the duma they look set to increase that number of duma seats but it may be at the expense of being russia's party they appear to be slightly edged out at the moment by a fair russia but they campaign very strongly on social issues such as alcoholism and drug abuse they also come pain strongly on immigration the liberal democrats very strongly want to impose limits on immigration into russia this is someth
