The speaker\u2019s threats lay bare a simple reality: the president either hasn\u2019t read the Constitution or is choosing to ignore that Ukraine is, in fact, a parliamentary-presidential republic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talks like \u201cParliamentarians will go to war\u201d sound impressive to the public, but they hardly have anything in common with reality. And even if someone does \u201cgo,\u201d we all understand perfectly well where such characters will end up\u2014definitely not at zero, but somewhere in headquarters and in warm rear positions.<\/p>\n

That is not the real issue. What matters is this: the single-party majority in parliament has effectively collapsed. Bankova\u2019s nervous threats only underscore that reality. If the majority were truly cohesive and disciplined, there would be no need for public pressure or political theatrics.<\/p>\n

Some lawmakers, it seems, are no longer willing to push buttons simply because they are told to do so from above. Perhaps they are beginning to think about responsibility \u2014 not only today\u2019s, but also the kind they will have to bear tomorrow. Because, as King Solomon is said to have put it, this too shall pass.<\/p>\n\t\t
