“Obviously, the biggest frustration among the parties is the Social Democrats: I don’t think 10 percent. and nine terms are what they expected in a constituency of several members, ”Rima Urbonaitė, a political scientist at Mykolas Romeris University, told BNS.
According to Mažvydas Jastramskis, associate professor at the Institute of International Relations and Political Science at Vilnius University, the Freedom Party became an undoubted surprise of these elections, performing well not only in the big cities, where its predicted success, but also in smaller cities.
“It seems that maybe they are leading that younger and optimistic voter who hopes for some change to a better and more progressive policy. It is not such a big surprise, but the appearance of the Socdems, lagging behind the Labor Party, seems interesting.” He said.
The political scientist considered that the Social Democratic Party had been overshadowed by publicity and the brilliant appearance of the “workers” in public space a few months before the elections. These elections also revealed the blow to the divided left political forces when the Social Democratic Labor Party split from the Social Democrats.
“The clash of ambitions has meant that we will have to accept a secondary role in the political system,” Jastramski said.
According to R. Urbonaitė, the campaign of the Social Democrats was lazy and, by failing to attract the attention of voters, they went unnoticed.
“It seems they made the mistake of winning where two fight and it will be the third, and the voters will automatically return to them from the ranks of the ‘campesinos’,” he said.
While waiting for part of the results of the main electoral districts of the city on Monday night, the size of the gap between the main Lithuanian Christian Democrats of the National Union and the rest of the Lithuanian peasants and greens, as well as the campaign Lithuanian Polish electoral-Union of Christian families has 5 percent. poster.
The intrigue of possible center-right or center-left coalitions, according to political scientists, is likely to persist until the end of the second must.
