Giorgi Vashadze : The governmental offered a 110/40 electoral system

The ruling Georgian Dream party has today offered a 110/40 electoral system to the opposition for 2020 elections, Giorgi Vashadze, one of the leaders of the opposition, said at the residence of Carl Harzell, Ambassador of the European Union to Georgia, in Tbilisi where a meeting between the representatives of the government, the opposition and the diplomatic corps accredited to Georgia is underway.

“The authorities named a new model - 110/40. I would like to reiterate that we will agree in case of two components : to refuse political revenge and, most importantly, to take proportionate aspirations into consideration. It means that those, who have less than 40% of support should not be able to form a majority independently. The 110/40 system fails to pass this test. Therefore, we cannot agree with this. However, there are some additional components that are being discussed now. Let's wait and see what else they have to say. No one agrees the 110/40 proportion,” Giorgi Vashadze said.

He said that the main message from the diplomats was that due to the ruling party, Georgia faces the threat of an international isolation.
