Pro-Western parties will dominate Ukraine's parliament after the first elections to the body since February's revolution, exit polls suggest.
President Petro Poroshenko's bloc is expected win the most seats, with Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk's People's Front party a close second.
Mr Poroshenko called an early poll in a bid to set Ukraine on a new path after the ousting of pro-Russian leaders.

This could be much better, I'm kind of disappointed. I really hoped Svoboda and Batkivshchyna won't make it in

At least on the bright side, they don't hold a majority in Ukraine's Parliament, and the two or three biggest party's seem like they might be able to compromise and be united on key issues.
Man, you know Fatherland fucked up when even the Opposition Bloc, a splinter faction of Party of Regions, got more votes than they did.
I am surprised these guys got just 6%

It's a bit concerning that the current acting President and Prime Minister's parties are the two most popular votes, but if they're doing a good job on domestic matters then I guess it's no surprise. I'm not going to assume it's corrupt unless there's some kind of evidence which might suggest it.
if it wasn't for this whole eastern ukraine nonsense it would probably look a bit different

I wouldn't say they're perfect, but they're good enough

Oh yeah, look at how all those Nazis have taken over Ukraine. Right Russia?

It is a lot. Right Sector also got like 2%. And the leader of the Right Sector will still be in parliament, because he won the election in his electoral district
I think you should be a lot more concerned about Opposition Bloc which is pretty much Party of Regions 2.0 having 7.6% of the votes
I'd rather have Svoboda over that any time.

Opposition Bloc has some okay people in it, I don't mind
Too bad Darth Vader didn't get a spot in the government.
Also, there's a high chance Svoboda won't make it now
