One of the problems with democracy is that it is hard for any good and well intentioned political party to achieve major positive change when he constantly has to worry about approval ratings and the next election. There are examples of when it can be good to give them a chance to get on with the work without the distraction of elections. Singapore is a good example.

On the other hand, once a party knows it can not lose power.... the possibilities for corruption and abuse start.
The Unated Russia have been in power already for 10 years. What else prove is needed to show that they didn't do life better? 10 years is enough ! At least to show your intentions. And all we can see is that during this time they got reacher and people got to live worse. They lifted salaries, but prices lifted much more, they cancel free school education, abolish academies, lift taxes, almost abolish small bussiness etc.



I can see clearly the policy of United Russia through this interview: they steal from people and when asked by people "why do we live so bad" the answer: "It's all US'doing!" It makes me laugh seeing Navalny adduce prooves by reading in order names and their doings, and meanwhile Fedorov go: It's all CIA's doing! you are working for America!
