So pretty boring really. Slightly worrying if the President also has a massive parliamentary majority and the opposition is both small and divided. Not necessarily a recipe for good government in the long run.

Not necessarily a recipe for good government in the long run. However, it may be needed in the short run to sort out some of the very genuine failures of how democracy has been applied in Ukraine. Assuming that the incumbent and his party will turn out to be any different than those who have promised much but delivered little in the past |

Looks like the new president's party has done well? He (the former comedian) is going to have to make a parliamentary alliance with a former rock star. |

Well, not sure about winners, but the last Speaker of the Maltese parliament was a former Eurovision entrant, and Norway provided a culture minister....plus Vicky Leandros who won for Luxembourg in the early 70's was mayor of Piraeus and stood for parliament unsuccessfully. And Nana Mouskouri who represented the same country was an MEP |
