What do you think of parliament’s decision to move up the presidential election to Oct. 25, instead of January of next year, a decision President Victor Yushchenko may challenge?

“Parliament is indubitably right and it doesn’t matter whether it’s legally correct or incorrect. There’s no need to ‘hold’ Yushchenko for another three months. He does not fulfill his functions.”
Tetyana Selezeneva
Salesperson
“It makes no difference when it’s going to happen – elections in October, elections in January. It will not mean anything to the country, except for those who created this fuss. It’s an obvious fight over power and capital in particularly large amounts.”

“The president should be in power [his full term]. He cannot be blamed for economic hardships, as crisis is all over the country. Victor Yushchenko is doing everything he can. He is innocent.”
Olena Dobrova
Visagiste
“We don’t need another early election for one reason: It wasn’t planned in this year’s budget. The budget won’t handle that. It will hit people like me again and I have only one wish: To get out of this crisis as soon as possible.”
Dmytro Trushchinyak
Automobile center worker
“It seems to be an illegal attempt to get rid of Yushchenko as early as possible. It might be a right decision. However, it may cause additional spending, which makes it unreasonable at the moment.”
