Abstract:
On March 26, Ukraine's voters elected 450 members to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, from an array of 45 parties and blocs. Charles Tannock, a British Member of the European Parliament (MEP), who oversaw the Parliament's election observers, said Ukraine had passed an important test of democracy in an "exemplary" fashion.
