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).
