Parliamentary elections are being held in Latvia on 4 October 2014. The previous elections were held in 2011, but according to the country’s constitution, the parliamentary term was reduced to only three years following early elections (the 2011 elections took place a year after the 2010 elections). On 27 December 2013, the Reform Party announced an electoral pact with its government coalition partner Unity, with most prominent Reform Party candidates running under the Unity campaign. On 16 July 2014 the Latvian Social Democratic Workers’ Party signed a cooperation pact with the Latvian Association of Regions to run under the LAR campaign. The main party of the Harmony Centre alliance, the Social Democratic Party “Harmony” contested the elections with a separate list, whilst fellow alliance members the Latvian Socialist Party announced on 20 July 2014 that they would not contest the election.
Not a huge fan of “Maintain the status quo/no policy listed” choices for centrism, centrists actually have opinions besides “let’s keep things th same!” and it takes away from the realism.
I know what you mean, I tended to use that for cases where policy info in English was limited. Are you Latvian by any chance or know their politics? If so please feel free to suggest improvements.
