Many observers fear the ruling Georgian Dream party will resort to anything to stay in power. It has buried the liberal values it espoused when it took office 12 years ago and effectively torpedoedGeorgia’s bid to join the European Union. Its founder, the secretive oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, has threatened to imprison his political rivals after the election and ban the main opposition party.

Under the country’s new proportional voting system, Khabeishvili of the UNM says Georgia’s fragmented opposition will have no trouble forming a coalition after the election. But he fears that Ivanishvili will seek to cling to power after an election loss.

    Sorry…

    Are you seriously arguing in favor of a monarchy?

    Who’s going to be king? You?

      Not at all. A monarchy is better than current oligarchy/hegemonic system. There is some sustainability aspect to it instead of pure corrupt evil. UBI is more important than democracy and ends up fixing democracy, because even in an idiocracy “I like money” is understood, and voting against theft/corruption becomes obvious no matter what zionist media tells you.
