Tymoshenko withdraws court challenge……

Well dear readers, as anticipated, Ms Tymoshenk has withdrawn her court challenge over the presidential elections results, and as expected, she has blamed her withdrawl on biased officials not giving her a fair hearing.

“As a presidential candidate, I have faced machinery, which works not on the basis of justice at all,” Tymoshenko told journalists in a recess of a Higher Administrative Court session on Saturday.

Tymoshenko described the procedure of the consideration of her suit against the Central Election Commission at the Higher Administrative Court as “a performance that absolutely does not look like the administration of justice.”

“It is obvious that, if they continue to consider this issue without our participation, this will mean that they want to sanctify this falsification on any circumstances and make it seem legitimate,” she said.

You have to admire the brazen duplicity she has for blaming the same biased courts she has used to her advantage time and again over the past 5 years.

It seems the courts are against her, the nation voted against her, the exit polls all lied and the international observers were also complicite in her failure in a grand conspiracy including the leaders of the rest of the world who have already acknowledged and congratulated her rival on the result of the election.

Will this go down as one of the world’s greatest conspiracy theories along with the assassination of JFK, Freemasonary, Jesuits, religion, WMDs, the death of Dr David Kelly?…….Err no, quite obviously she actually lost the election and mostly through her own doing during her campaign.

On the upside, for Ms Tymoshenko, she still holds the most powerful office in the land as Prime Minsiter……at least at the moment…….and will do so either as Prime Minister or Acting Prime Minister until the summer should she lose the majority in parliament such is the timescale for new elections……unless PoR can form a majority coalition themselves of which the chances are slim and more simply replace her.

Of course this has all been political showboating to a degree and for the most part just another way to cast doubt over the legitimacy of the opponets victory.  It is very doubtful that the PoR managed to pervert the vote any more than her own “dedicate followers” could have……and probably did in equal amounts.

Should her appeal still go ahead despite her withdrawl of it?  Well it depends where you sit.  If you are a die-hard Tymoshenko supporter, you like her will say “It is obvious that, if they continue to consider this issue without our participation, this will mean that they want to sanctify this falsification on any circumstances and make it seem legitimate,”……..however if you are an international observer in which foreign nations put such trust to declare a vote free and fair or not…….then maybe you will want some court vindication stating that the vote stands, the count was correct and the vote was “free and fair” as you declared.

Whatever, now the minor position of President has been settled, the true battle for power…….the Prime Ministership and majority coalition in parliament now begins!
