First, Ukraine’s problems are not solely the result of Yushchenko’s actions or inaction.

Second, when the Parliament was disbanded, there was good reason for it – the Party of Regions was buying up deputies for money in order to form a veto-proof super-majority.

Third, noone is going to take Yushchenko’s constitutional proposal and act on it.

Fourth, the biggest threat to Ukraine is the oligarchs who have Ukrainian government by the throat, for their own personal benefit, to the detriment of the people, and in disregard of people and their rights. Akhmetov, Firtash, Pinchuk, Hajduk, Taruta, Kolomoisky, etc – the whole gang of thugs.

Fifth, there is no basis for parliamentary immunity in a democracy – “one law for all.” Time after time, investigations of crimes by members of Parliament have been delayed or derailed due to immunity.

Sixth, it’s not just immunity that’s a problem – it’s also lack of representative government caused by the party list system, by which oligarchs and their political machine buy their way onto party lists, and into Parliament, with no accountability to voters or anyone else.

Seventh, the Party of Rogues has been physically blocking Parliament for 2 years now.

Ukraine’s government is a madhouse, and everyone knows it. Ukraine fatigue set in a long time ago.

Getting rid of government by the oligarchs, for the oligarchs and of the oligarchs is the only way to a sane and effective government in Ukraine.

And kowtowing to rasha is the last thing Ukraine ought to do.
