Or at least very poorly!

Even the media are having to concede that the vote was fair and that Yanukovych is the most likely winner.

I was just thinking about posting this. One down and two more to go. I believe that Ukraine's NATO bid will finally be over.

It seems that the lovely Yulia and friends are better at preaching democracy than they are at practising it?

Ukraine's Tymoshenko bloc to contest election result

Which is rather strange considering the clean bill health from the International observers.

It rather supports my suspicion that Yanukovych actually won as well in 2004, but that the hysteria of the International media stole it from him.

Would that be Serbia and Georgia?

This was a long time coming, and ultimately inevitable. The people was never going to keep accepting a government in paralysis that gets nothing done.

As for Georgia, it is a matter of when not if; their Rose revolution was over the moment Russian tanks rolled into their 2 enclaves.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953.

Both sides are calling their supporters out into the streets as the Tymenshenko bloc seem to be trying to contest the election.

Strangely enough this time around, is the total shortage of western political leaders calling for both parties to respect the will of the people. Strange when you consider how generous they were with such advice in 04!

Tymoshenko is putting the nails into the coffin of what remains of the Revolution, with her foolish refusal to stand down. It is the final fall of credibility. Good riddance I say.

Tymoshenko has thrown in the towel and dropped her High Court Appeal

I guess the powers that be realise that you cannot try and steal two consecutive elections when they have both been won by the same guy. Not without some people asking awkward questions anyway <_<

Considered how Bush II stole two elections in a row? I do not entirely agree with your comment <_<

Tymoshenko is out after losing a vote of no confidence

http://news.bbc.co.u...ope/8547293.stm

That's game and set to Yanukovych, if he can form a new coalition without the need for an election, he will take the match as well.
