oowee Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 With a Russian rigged election in Georgia it looks like a remake of the Ukraine situation over again. The Georgian Dream party announce their victory in what is clearly an unfair election. Trump's pal Orban congratulates Georgian Dream on their victory before the election is officially counted. Violent protest cracked down on by Kremlin financed thugs looks inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 I suspect it was the Labour Party who rigged it. They have form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 Imagine where an anti EU vote gains a 54 % majority, and the opposition call for it to be annulled and a second election is called for. Imagine blaming it on Russian interference....... Im just waiting for them to say they didnt know what they were voting for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just waiting for them to say they didnt know what they were voting for I guess if there were Russian thugs beating up the monitoring staff, the officials, vote stuffing, and handing out papers that only allowed voting for one party there would be a degree of concern. Like Hungary and Slovakia Georgia have taken over state tv and put in place a foreign agents act so no chance of free and fair elections. Question now i guess is will they role over or stand up and be killed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they manage this feat while they werent in power ? 6 minutes ago, oowee said: Question now i guess is will they role over or stand up and be killed? Or... it was a fair democratic election, and the ex ruling party dont like it, and are now calling for 'demonstrations' (civil war) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 Those pesky Russians get everywhere. We have questionable voting in the UK - some might say vote rigging. We send Labour numpties to the USA to interfere in their election and then we have the nerve to complain (without any proof) when it happens elsewhere.

Gordon R Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 Signs, reports, an observers car was vandalised, one party had more funds etc etc. Hardly conclusive proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because not one of them mentions Russian thugs beating up monitoring staff, or pretty much anything else youve claimed above The EU employed OSCE staff said they were 'concerned' about some aspects of the election, and thats about it, but were a long way from your claimed rigged election. 'Whilst members said that voting on election day was generally well-organised, they pointed to a tense and pressured environment pre-election day as well as several instances of intimidation and procedural inconsistencies during the day itself. "During our observation, we noted cases of vote-buying and double-voting before and during elections, especially in rural areas" Iulian Bulai, head of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe delegation, said.' Sounds like a typical Leicester or Birmingham scenario to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 'One opposition leader says the election was run by the Russian GRU, and is a special military operation' Well thats it then, conclusive evidence Unfortunately the OSCE disagree.... 23 minutes ago, oowee said: Try this https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-georgia-130-million-funding-democratic-backsliding/ So pumping EU money into Georgia if they comply with EU directives isnt a way of trying to influence the politics of the country ? The ascension of Georgia into the EU has now been cancelled, not that they could realistically qualify under current conditions, but hey, we can always work on Moldova instead, not that they qualify either Lets just invite every basket case economy into the EU (and then NATO) what could possibly go wrong ?
