Ne vpadayte v eyforiyu - do spravzhnyoyi peremohy sche duzhe daleko. Scho my matymemo - ce paralich u parlamenti, i ce bil'she na ruku Kuchmi, nizh demokratiyi. Lyudy - bud'te pyl'ni! ne dayte sebe zadurty rezul'tatamy vyboriv, yaki za prohnozamy daly bil'shist' misc' same kuchmanistam. Ob'yednayte tykh z konunistamy i kartyna staye sche strashnishoyu. Os' prohytayte scho pyshe "The Financial Times":
With 94 per cent of the votes counted, Our Ukraine had increased to 23.5 per cent
of the votes in nationwide proportional voting, while the group's candidates also
did much better than expected in direct elections.
The late results deflated the Kuchma camp's early hopes as For a United
Ukraine's share slipped to 12.1 per cent in proportional voting and many of the
Kuchma camp's candidates who had been expected to win in direct races were
upset by Mr Yushchenko's candidates or by independent local businessmen.
If the results are confirmed, they would give the pro-Kuchma group 185 of the
parliament's 450 seats, Mr Yushchenko's group 116 seats, the Communist party
66 seats and the opposition Socialists and Yulia Tymoshenko bloc a combined
total of 45 seats. The remaining 38 seats went to unaffiliated candidates.
