Reforming the Federation Council, as one way to fight poverty

 The Federation Council proposes to CEC screened candidates Yesterday the Committee on Regional Policy SF discussed seven shows regions of candidates to the CEC. The Committee recommended that senators be delegated to the CEC of four current members of the Central Election Commission and former Chief of Staff of the ex-speaker of the Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, now a legal adviser at the head Mikhail Shmakov FNPR Anton Lopatin.
Powers of the current members of the Central Election Commission ends on 27 March. The next part will not work for four years as the present one and five years. According to the law "On basic guarantees of electoral rights ..." the 15-member Central Election Commission with a vote five appointed by the president, five - the State Duma and five - the Federation Council from among candidates proposed by the regions.
Reforming the Federation Council, as one way to fight poverty According to official statistics, the poverty rate in Russia is just over 15% of the population. Independent experts operate in other figures: their assessment - from 25 to 60%. And although the resolute struggle against poverty was launched in the country three years ago, the process goes in the direction of poverty reduction, and in the direction of its growth. The difference in the estimates due to the fact that in our country in the indigent category includes people who have those sort of do not. The main feature of Russian poverty is that poor, we are persons of working age and have a job, among which are many single women with children. In our country an incredible gap between rich and poor. The income level of 80% of the population is declining, while 20% of the rich, on the contrary, increase their capital, noted for their hearings, even the Public Chamber of Russia. Modern liberal bureaucrats everywhere declare that accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction - is the most important strategic task of the Russian economy. That they are guided by the "state" point of view. That, the better the economy works, the better will be the life of the people. And officials at all levels constantly talk about putting new capacity in the industry, the construction of new lines, etc., clearly showing, whose interests they represent. But we see that the production, somehow rising, and poverty just absorbs all the new sections of the population. It turns out that the government just covers all of this verbiage possibility of a small part of most rich people to rob millions of Russian citizens. This is confirmed and approaches to implementing the claimed authority of the national projects. Some members of the government say about the construction of affordable housing, and ostensibly seek to do this, and other monopolies to provide growth of tariffs for gas, electricity and transport, which naturally leads only to higher prices for newly introduced housing, which is becoming, in reality, even less affordable. Indeed, increased production of goods and services mean increased revenue of economic actors involved in this process. At the same time it increases the tax base and expands the possibilities for the redistribution of income in favor of those who are in the process of reproduction is not involved. Thus, economic growth provides the basis for welfare. However, as practice shows, in some cases, economic growth helps alleviate poverty, while in others, "preserves" it, increasing social inequality. It depends on the degree of participation of different social groups in the growing sectors of the economy, the degree of heterogeneity of inflation for households with different incomes, and most importantly - on how people affect the authority and participates in its formation. But the latter is just, power and tries to avoid. Therefore, Russia continues to amaze the world of original democracy, where senators do not choose and appoint. Formally delegate their legislative and executive authority of the regions, but actually members of the Federation Council have appointed. This became especially clear after the abolition of elections for regional leaders. And today, when the president, in fact, appoint governors, and they, in turn, delegate a representative to the Federation Council, and then the Federation Council, in all seriousness, considering the President's proposals, and pretending that they can not approve them, pays a low intensity schizophrenia and similar orders of the House № 6. Well, we ordinary citizens are forced, in the absence of any opportunity to influence the situation, all is to observe and keep silent, pretending that we agree with all of this. In all cases, delegated to the most deserving, no doubt, otherwise distant Tuva would not stop their choice on Ms. Narusova, widow of the St. Petersburg mayor. Although, as recent events have shown, some senators, the least resistant to the environment, and probably because of the lack of positive activity in the uppermost chamber, have been implicated in a corruption scandal, but so that the Speaker of the Federation Council was forced to compel them to voluntarily surrender their authority. After these troubles even Sergei Mironov has arisen the need to reform the Federation Council. "Plucking" courage, because otherwise the initiative of Sergey Mironov, the media and not treated as a courageous act of a statesman, speaker of the upper chamber, and suggested at a press conference in Lipetsk, the idea of electing senators. "We need - said Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov - to a popular vote to make at least two candidates from the governor, and the same - from the regional executive authorities." Here are just citizens is difficult to understand, and what is masculine? That, in this proposal that radically new? That there can not arrange for the Kremlin, as candidates for senator will propose the same regional authorities, who appoint the senators now. Yes, and how regional authorities to take other people - thank God, and everywhere in front of us members of one which has proved the generation of complaisance, as if nature itself created for a fruitful cooperation with any authority. Yes, and with the representation of the people once again get hype because people should only vote for those who suggest the governor and the regional executive. But the will of the workers (in the authoritative expression) will be provided. People again impose political game, where its interests are in last place. Most likely, before the surprise Lipetsk, "manly" Sergei Mironov, presented his project to the appointment and got a good as anything reprehensible does not contain, and even, on the contrary, endowed with considerable democratic potential (especially in light of the forthcoming summit of the Group of Eight). Let those who try to criticize Russia for non-democratic government, once again convinced that Russia is not fiefdom puppeteer, that even the speaker of the Federation Council is free to not only have and express their own view of nation-building. Especially when that opinion does not contradict the general line to strengthen "democracy." Having evaluated the phenomenon, we again see that there is no real poverty, and no democracy, but only by deception and service interests of the ruling class Chichikovs different suits.
