Are Reforms A ‘Huge Achievement’ For Georgia’s Angry Democracy?

There was an interesting new post at Democracy Digest:

The leader of Georgia’s ruling party said Monday that the ex-Soviet nation will hold the next parliamentary election based entirely on a proportionate system, fulfilling a key demand of anti-government protesters, AP’s Misha Dzhindzhikhashvili writes.

Bidzina Ivanishvili, in his first public appearance since the crisis erupted, said Georgian Dream has agreed to change the election law earlier than planned and to hold next year’s parliamentary election based on a fully proportional system.

Georgia is an angry democracy. A recent Gallup survey found that 27 percent of Georgians said they felt angry “yesterday.” That was more than enough to bring large numbers of protestors out onto Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi’s traditional arena of protest on the night of June 20, notes Thomas de Waal, a senior fellow with Carnegie Europe.
