Abstract

The reason for multiple controversies and constant political weapon of the Political Parties of the governing Coalition and, of course, of the Communist Party, is the binominal majority electoral system that has existed since 1989 for legislative elections. Thus it has been described as "illegitimate", "perverse", "undemocratic", etc., by leftist ideologues and preferably by theoreticians trained in foreign universities, some of dubious academic quality, in approaches surpassed by history and what is worse , by the current world political reality.
