I mean if you are trapped in an underground bunker overnight then the last thing you need is a fight breaking out between the Ukrainian People's Front and the People's Front of Ukraine.

I think it's hard for anyone on Saidit to comment on this because clearly no one here has the first idea about these parties or what they stand for.

However the fact they can restrict 11 opposition parties and still have many more opposition parties still up and running contrasts the Ukrainian political culture against the USA quite clearly. If the US government wanted to ban 11 political parties they'd end up having to ban themselves and then start making up parties just to get there.
