I agree that people of Ukraine need and deserve a change. They deserve better. With such a wonerfull, fertile land, Ukraine can be the bread basket of Europe, and feel a lots of poor people of this world as well. It has a fantastic geographic position, making it ideal for trade transit, both from the Central Asia and Far East. It is ideally suited for energy transport as well, and the developement of many industries --- as it already has the tradition of industrialization. But I also see the dangers, and I hope this time I am wrong. Ukraine also boasts some of the world's most naive population. There is something good about being naive. But we do not live in the era of innocence. This is the world of wolfs, and the innocent pay the price. Look at the patterns of voting. There are so many small parties that cannot win the election. It is utter foolishness giving them votes, so that these individuals can then cash in on "their" consituents. They will vie for the jobs in the new administration, with the promises of delivering votes. Even if they say that they will not endorse, everybody an their mamma already knows which way will they be pulling. So, if people of Ukraine really wanted to make a solid change, they need to elect those who will bring a big broom, to sweep the current system out. They need to elect those who have NOT been in power, otherwise they will get the same in new clothing. Only a strong party with a chance to win on their own accord can then afford to open the windows, and let the air into the corridors of corrupt power. At present only Yanukovich fits that bill. Yulia has only redefined herself to suit the times, but will not bring the change. She cannot afford to. She is committed to the existing elite that support her, and she will do nothing to endanger them. Ukraine should vote Yanukovic even if they have to pinch their nose to do it. This is the only way to get out of the swamp.
