Don’t even try to find a website for Bloc of Petro Poroshenko, the presidential party that is set to win the most votes in the Oct. 26 parliamentary election. Unless the party’s old name is known – Solidarnist – Google won’t help.The bloc is still using the old Solidarnist website as the online base for its campaign platform. Moreover, if one wants to learn what the party stands for, all you have to do is find the program that Poroshenko used in the May 25 presidential election. The text of his bloc’s official platform is recycled. The only difference was replacing the single pronoun “I” with “we” throughout the text.

These things may be symbolic, but they provide a glimpse into what kind of a party Poroshenko’s Bloc is, and what it stands for. It has the highest number of sitting lawmakers of all the political forces competing in the race – a total of 42. By comparison, the closest rival in that sense is Yulia Tymoshenko’s Batkivshchyna, with 26 lawmakers currently sitting in the Rada, according to OPORA, the biggest election watchdog.
