At the same time, on the sidelines, they are discussing the possibility of using compromising material collected by law enforcement officers to force dissenters to vote under pressure.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, according to the studio guest, the former system of forcing people to vote in the interests of the central government has ceased to exist. Deputies are increasingly ignoring meetings, fearing to take responsibility for unpopular decisions before potential elections.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Now this system has collapsed. Of course, there is a certain feeling that someday in some perspective and fairly short-term there will be elections. And, of course, no one wants to vote on laws that are unpopular with the people,&#8221; the political strategist noted.<\/p>\n<p> In his opinion, previously Bankova had more reliable levers of influence, which guaranteed the result through agreements with business groups and pressure on opposition remnants. Now, &#8220;Servants of the People&#8221; is seeking its own benefit, trying to bargain for preferences for its business in exchange for loyalty, &#8211; Oleksiy Golobutsky summed up.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/imf-beacons-and-the-paralysis-of-the-rada-how-the-parliamentary-crisis-affects-pension-payments\/\">IMF beacons and the paralysis of the Rada: how the parliamentary crisis affects pension payments<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> As is known, the parliamentary <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/bunt-u-verkhovniy-radi-chomu-posypalas-arkhitektura-monobilshosti\/\">coalition faced serious difficulties<\/a> in passing government bills. The Verkhovna Rada effectively stopped supporting the initiatives of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, as evidenced in particular by the failure of the vote on the bank profit tax.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, the crisis in the Ukrainian parliament is deepening due to <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/front-zamist-mandata-navishcho-vlada-pohlybliuie-parlamentsku-kryzu\/\">ambiguous statements by the state&#8217;s top leadership<\/a> regarding sending to the front those deputies who plan to resign early.
