Many observers fear the ruling Georgian Dream party will resort to anything to stay in power. It has buried the liberal values it espoused when it took office 12 years ago and effectively torpedoedGeorgia’s bid to join the European Union. Its founder, the secretive oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, has threatened to imprison his political rivals after the election and ban the main opposition party.
Under the country’s new proportional voting system, Khabeishvili of the UNM says Georgia’s fragmented opposition will have no trouble forming a coalition after the election. But he fears that Ivanishvili will seek to cling to power after an election loss.
As Georgia votes, fears of a stolen election and a return to the Kremlin’s orbit loom large
Same here in the other Georgia, TBH.
Already multiple credible reports of Ballot stuffing in favour of pro-Russian regime, and voters getting beat up by thugs.
this account is covering it well
edit: Now Politico has confirmed these incidents, electoral fraud, bribery, and beatings by partisans of the ruling pro-Russia party see article
Either people revolt or you end like belarus…
Russians are spineless unlike some of their neighbors.
Too limp dick to revolt agianst their regime, but brave enough to go fight in ukraine.
If russia is able to pull this offin Georgia while tied down in Ukraine. There aint much hope left

Learn some basic history
Please tell us what should replace democracy.
Feudalism? Dictatorship? I’m trying to imagine a society where people never get a say in how things are run being a good place to live and I can’t.

UBI has nothing to do with who runs things. Someone has to distribute those funds. Someone also has to be responsible for things like infrastructure and ensuring things like food is being inspected.
So how do the people doing those things get chosen fairly if not by citizens voting for them?

That’s not an answer. I didn’t ask about how it is currently.
Again, how do those people get chosen fairly if not by citizens voting for them?
