The electoral potential of the DPS gives reason to think that there will be an electoral resource for entering the National Assembly of both political forces if they separate. This is what the sociologist from "Market Links" told BNR. Dobromir Zhivkov.
"Irrespective of the faction to which DPS voters identify themselves at the moment, a high degree of mobilization is visible. This mobilization also occurs because of internal division and opposition. However, in general, we can assume that the electoral weight of the DPS faction - Ahmed Dogan is slightly higher than that of Mr. Peevski. But our expectations are that both formations, if they appear and are registered in this way by the CEC as two separate formations, regardless of their names, the chance that both will be present in the next parliament is by no means small. All indirect indicators show that despite Peevski's low approval rating, he still has influence in certain areas,", the sociologist explained.
According to him, all political forces lose from this constant cycle of elections.
"This is clearly visible from the confidence in the parliament, which is also at very, very low levels. A parliament with the trust of only about 7% of those entitled to vote is a clear indication of the problems of our parliamentary republic, commented Zhivkov.
According to him, displacements are possible. He does not rule out, in case of low turnout, that we may again have a surprise in the composition of the next National Assembly.
According to the data, 1/3 of Bulgarians have not yet decided which political force to support. According to Dobromir Zhivkov, about 20% of voters decide on their choice in the last week, and more than 10% - in the last 2 days.
