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).
