The new composition of the parliament apparently promises  more interesting political game than the previous  one. In this scenario, Raul Khajimba have a real chance to claim a position of a Speaker, which  with  Nugzar Ashuba became  very snug. If Raul Dzhumkovich will succeed to obtain this position, it will become a new political reality  he has never been before.  First time in his life he could become an independent political figure. As a prime minister under Vladislav Ardzinba, he shone with reflected light, being a  vice-president  of Sergei Bagapsh  he was hiding in the shadows of disagreement with the main line of an alien power. The role of the leader of the opposition, too, was hard for  him, as  it demanded not only criticism of the government, but  a contrary program of the country  development.

         To be a member of the opposition in the role of speaker of the parliament is even more complicated. You will need  regularly and well - reasoned  to oppose the government to explain your disagreement to  the society. You must have at least a small team of people having the same views. All the same   you have to play on the same field with authorities, and any mistake will be perceived by the society  differently - you yourself are in power, you have the authority, and you can influence, but not just criticize.

         In the history there  are  a lot of examples when   coming out to the first roles  highlights  hidden reserves  of a politician but as well  as   his inability  to real business - Khajimba appeared in the center of political power, and it will soon force him to demonstrate either  his  strength, or his weakness.

         The results of the second round confirmed that the current government is not particularly strained  with an  administrative resource, and the party "United Abkhazia"  is blowing  away, like a punctured ball, right in front of us. Until the late Sergey Vasilievych supported the party with his  powerful shoulder, it  seemed to be the ruling party, and  it attracted many  under  power privileges. Now the "United Abkhazia" is almost as helpless as the rest of the parties in our country. Somehow, we are not lucky with the parties, although just socio-political movements have some vital force, and the last one   have withered lately. Therefore, during the parliamentary elections the electorate divided between personal likings  and family ties.

         The composition of the Parliament rejuvenated and for the  first time their  appeared  a banker - Arthur Mikvabia. Typically, the bankers themselves rarely go into politics, preferring to pull his puppets behind the scenes, but in our case it is difficult to hide the puppet, so it's better to try yourself. The hard character of Arthur Artemovich hardly will  allow him to gain the sympathy of a large number of his colleagues, but some sort of group  of influence, he could arrange.
        
         In the previous Parliament, only two members, the late Vladimir Nachach-oglu and not elected in the new parliament Batal Kobakhia have initiated the adoption of new laws, other projects were brought by  other subjects of legislative initiative. I wish the newly elected  people did not forget about their straight  duties, and finally put in order the largely outdated Abkhazian legislation.

          Frankly speaking, each new composition of our Parliament looks weaker than the previous one, like the first "golden" Parliament has exhausted all efforts at this level. What if the current MPs will present a surprise to us and make our political reality  more diverse.
