If parliamentary elections took place next Sunday, five parties would enter Moldova’s Parliament. These are the PCRM with 23.2% of the poll, the PLDM with 13.9%, the PDM with 7.8%, the PL with 6.9%, and the PSRM with 6.6%. The other parties would gain less than 3% of the vote, while the undecided voters represent 24.6%, shows a poll presented by the Association of Sociologists and Demographers in a news conference, IPN reports.
According to the survey, if the elections were held next Sunday, 54% of the respondents would definitely take part in them. 29% would probably go to the polls, while the others would not go or haven’t yet decided. The Association’s head Victor Mocanu said the data show the tendency to take part in the elections is rather low.
The leader of the PCRM Vladimir Voronin is trusted by 22.6% of the 57.7% of the respondents who said that they trust some of the politicians. Iurie Leanca earned the confidence of 16.9% of those polled, the leader of the PLDM Vlad Filat of 11.4%, the mayor of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca of 8.7%, the leader of the PSRM Igor Dodon of 8.5%, the chairman of the PDM Marian Lupu of 5.1%, while businessman Renato Usatyi of 3.8%.
The poll shows that the interest in politics among the population continues to be rather low. Only 32% of those surveyed said they are interested in politics. 31% consider the people in Moldova are afraid to openly state their political convictions.
Some 55.7% of the respondents believe that things inside the country go wrong, 30.6% consider they go rights, while 13.7% don’t know. The head of the Association of Sociologists and Demographers said such a distribution of answers shows that the people have rather a negative attitude to the development course chosen by the authorities. 60% of the population believes that the reforms done inside the country are not efficient and only about 27% approve of them.
45.2% of those polled consider that the presidential republic is the most appropriate form of government for Moldova, 22.8% plead for parliamentary republic, while 12.8% are for semipresidential republic. 16.9% don’t know, while 2.4% want something else.
