Why is Grudinin not removed from the election?

March 8 2018 10

The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation made a decision, unexpected from the legal point of view, not to remove the candidate from the Communist Party Pavel Grudinin from the presidential race. This was done with curious formulations that the Commission is guided by the statement of the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation that he does not have accounts in foreign banks.

That is, calling a spade a spade, Grudinin was allowed before the election, but left under suspicion. Representatives of the Central Election Commission voiced information to voters about the possibility of having accounts with Grudinin in Switzerland, but the Commission itself declined to appeal to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

There is an ambiguous situation. If a candidate for a high post of the Russian president was really caught cheating, he should be removed from the election. And if he considers this decision unfair, then he can go to court. However, political The alignment today is such that if Grudinin, coming from the Communist Party and the allied left forces, were withdrawn, then the real turnout in the March 18, 2018 elections would plummet. Thus, the removal of the left candidate from the race would reduce the overall legitimacy of the elections, giving rise to numerous speculations.

It turns out, based on considerations of political expediency, Grudinin was left in the elections, but he was smeared with soot for show, or something else. At the same time, in the case of a hypothetical victory of Pavel Grudinin, spiteful critics could again raise the issue of fraud at the stage of the presidential company, which could serve as the basis for making various strong-willed decisions not in favor of the candidate from the Communist Party. Thus, the Central Election Commission laid a kind of “insurance” against the left candidate.

I do not know (and too lazy to delve into) what is said in the electoral legislation. The situation is known - Grudinin is lying and no one has yet proven the opposite. According to all logics, a lie is no place for ANY elected post. In fact, a no brainer, WHO will once again become President. Well, what if Grudinin would have won? And then what? Even gorillas (real ones) in Africa would have usssed.

However, the political situation today is such that if Grudinin, coming from the Communist Party and the allied left forces, were withdrawn, then the real turnout in the March 18, 2018 elections would plummet

Firstly - not a fact, and secondly - and to hell with it! The outcome of the election is thus known in advance.
PS - I'm not a fan of Putin, but there is NO real alternative to him! And this is a medical fact.

  He has already proved a hundred times that there is nothing, and kissel-tv again chewing his galosh. And certainly Putin has no equal on enemies.

  Complete nonsense, he had already exhausted himself 6 years ago, let him retire at 12 tyrov and a small house in the distant village of the Kirov region, let him atone for sins.

Grudinin runs up to be removed from the elections, in which he still won’t win.
But the "withdrawn" will be able to apply for the position of "the giant of thought, the father of Russian democracy ..." or become the head of the "bank of opposites" when money from the USA will flow into the same accounts, for example. Maybe the putsch will lead ... hundreds of options "from rags to riches."

To appeal to the Supreme Court, facts are needed, but, apparently, they are not.
Once in our region, in the election of the head of the city, a full namesake of the opposition candidate was found. He was also declared for the post, and the ballots had two identical names. And this is in a deep province! Really, those forces that need it, can not do something similar with the scores?

Pasha Siskin lies as naturally as breathing. To choose one of these multilingual heads in these elections means to betray all those guys who are now fighting for you and me in Syria. Those who died there for Russia.

  Is it like those Wagnerites who were mixed with sand with impunity by the Americans?

Pasha fell off, bills in Switzerland for the treatment of numerous ailing relatives. Stumble! What about gold? Five and a half kilograms? Probably to insert teeth to the same sick relatives? Laughing out loud!

And yet, one must always follow the letter of the law, and not opportunistic considerations that give our "well-wishers" a reason for all kinds of insinuations. It was a pity to look at Ella.

  If you always follow the letter of the law, then, for example, Anatoly Serdyukov should have been imprisoned.
  And so, they dismissed on the basis for which he had no right, and again they returned to the state corporation to a warm place. And you say the letter of the law ....
