> Your first paragraph does not gel well with the idea of democracy: rule of the people. And who said that democracy, the rule of people, is ideal? It is the system that brought a convicted criminal that has been twice in jail to presidency. It was also the rule of people that allowed George W Bush to be a president of the US for 2 terms! I don't trust people, because they often choose idiots. > In my book that's on oxymoron. Not only is he a criminal, but he committed crimes while in office, abusing the powers of his office. I meant he was a criminal before becoming a president. And I will second, that the common crowd, the people still elected him. > Also, the change on Friday was to restore the 2004 version of the constitution where the parliament has much more power and the president has less, so whoever becomes the president will not be in the same position as Yanukovych was just in. Yanukovich stepped into presidency during the 2004 version constitution and it didn't prevent him from changin the rules of the game in his favour.
