Political Parties and Elections
For other political parties see Political parties in Ukraine. An overview on elections and election results is included in Elections in Ukraine.Ukrainian parties tend not have a clear ideology but tend to be centred around civilizational and geostrategic orientations rather than economic and socio-political agendas (as in Western politics), personalities and business interests. Party membership is lower than 1% of the population eligible to vote (compared to an average 4.7% in the European Union).

“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
