Marijampolė mayoral election (September 10, 2017) (round 2)

Outcome of Marijampolė mayoral election (round 1)

As I expected, Irena Lunskienė (Lietuvos socialdemokratų partija - LSDP (Social Democratic Party of Lithuania)) came first with 48,07 per cent of vote. 

Another prognosis

I will stay flat - Irena Lunskienė (Lietuvos socialdemokratų partija - LSDP (Social Democratic Party of Lithuania)) will win these mayoral election.

Probable share of of vote:
  • Irena Lunskienė (Lietuvos socialdemokratų partija - LSDP (Social Democratic Party of Lithuania)) - two thirds of the vote (or more).
  • Kęstutis Traškevičius (Tėvynės sąjunga-Lietuvos krikščionys demokratai - TS-LKD (Homeland Union - Christian Democrats of Lithuania)) - one third of the vote (or less).

These bodies are administrated by the munipacility's council (led by the mayor) and administration (led by the director). Council basically is observing municipality's agencies and etc., while municipality's administration is preparing evidence for council's meetings, preparing municipality's bugdet and etc. Municipality councils have one meeting each month (if necessary - two meetings if e. g. there is need to appoint interim mayor). 'Size Matters' Size of municipality's council depends from number of the people living in the municipality. By the Local self-government election law ( version of this law in Lithuanian language ) size of the municipality varies as following: number of elected councilors - nu...

Beginning of the blog

Autorius:

Motivation I was inspired by  Peter-Paul Koch  who established website of the Netherlands politics in English. This blog will be concentrated on national politics in Lithuania. Local (municipalities) politics will be also featured, if events there will influence national affairs and/or local (municipality's) politician will be leader of national party. Local (municipalities) politics coverage has one difficulty - Lithuania has 59 municipalities so writing about each of them might not be an option ( this may be straight way to the blog's split as Owan Donowan has shown ). Political system of Lithuania (source:  http://www.truelithuania.com/Nuotraukos/LithuaniaGovernmentScheme.jpg ) Structure This blog will have these type of posts: 1) presentations These presentations will come up to specific matters (e. g. elections in one particular municipality). 2) yearly round-ups Round-ups will be released in autumn. Basic rules (for ...

The end of coalition (updated article)

Autorius:
R.I.P Farmers and Greens Union of Lithuania-Social Democratic Party of Lithuania coalition (2016-2017) So there we have it. Coalition, whose destiny have been in huge question since the beggining of summer, collapsed. This coalition will be known for being one of shortest in three decades. Future When coalition 'died', there are several options for government: Minority rule with opposition's support This scenario is not new in Lithuania. Between 2006 and 2007 Lithuania had minority government (led by Gediminas Kirkilas), which received official support from biggest opposition party . Only difference now is that Kirkilas Cabinet was a minority coalition and current Skvernelis Cabinet will be single party (although Farmers and Greens Union political group is composed from two parties representatives (Farmers and Greens Union of Lithuania and Lithuanian Center Party)) and various independent members of Seimas. Minority rule without opposition's support ...
