Parties & Elections
In former times Communist countries produced totally predictable elections with up to 99.94 percent of the vote being counted for official candidates. Since 1990 elections have become competitive; see Elections in Central and Eastern Europe and How Russia Votes.
Since the ballot is a blunt instrument, we need to ask people what is in their minds when they vote. Barometer surveys ask whether or not people trust the parties and politicians they are voting for--and whether they would like competitive elections to continue.
