Talk:Verkhovna Rada

message: I've marked a section out of date, as it doesn't have the current electoral law. I'm told that there are no constituency members any more in the Ukrainian Parliament. Francis Irving 14:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Out of date 

message: This passage was removed
: It allows opposition leaders not only to avoid authorities pressure themselves, but also to protect their supporters by direct interference in arrests, searches etc. E.g., during the 2001 UBK campaign, the deputies were trying to prevent the mass groundless arrests of youth in Kyiv by breaking into militsiya precincts and vehicles.
I agree it's rather specific, but it does colourfully illustrate the rather extreme degree to which immunity applies.  The image of parliamentary deputies participating in what would be considered mass hooliganism by some is just too precious to leave out.  Perhaps it can be more concise, or move over to Politics of Ukraine?  —Michael Z. 17:24, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)
: What I meant is as follows. 
: From the legal point of view, it wasn't just an application of the immunity. PMs also have the right to enter any state agency, including militsiya precincts. It's better to organize these ideas under a subsection on the status of the deputy.
: The passage gave an impression that the immunity is absolute. However, it is not. A deputy can be arrested if the parliament votes to do so (226+ votes).
: Finally, and more importantly, the passage described actions of individual deputies, not the action of the parliament as a whole. So, I think it is perfectly fine for a history article or UBK article, but not in the article on the Rada as the legislative body of the government.

thread_title: Infobox

message: Just read this :). It has yet to happen, but if it does where does this info belong? In all the articles of the functions (Prime Minister of Ukraine etc.) who's salary is cut twice? — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 22:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  VR passed a resolution cutting twice the salary to the President, Prime Minister, MPs, and other higher officials. 

message: Not to self: a "Privileges" section should be written, apparently VR deputy's get free housing + free health care. Wouldn't mind if somebody else started the section ! — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 21:30, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It sure is an important category. We shall also include the fact that major political parties campaigned against deputy immunity.. I will start when I get the time, I am quite busy with schoolwork. ddima.talk 04:54, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks.! I've been semi-dormant. I check any updates but don't really follow up on them! Long long time I haven't written anything, and a long time since we've had a DYK.. About time to start thinking of a new collaboration project? Hopefully I'll be back on here in no time writing more :DD ddima.talk 05:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

text: A first reading by VR of a deputy immunity bill passed today, but I'll waut to change the article until the second reading.... It seems that Yanukovych made a corrupted bill so it will take months before the privileges will be abolished... — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 21:24, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Privileges" 

message: It seems that there are about 5 (didn't keep count) Rada deputies who where either expelled or resigned from there faction/party (including 1 from BYuT today) and now are "independent deputy". Should that fact be mentioned somewhere in this article? I think yes. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 12:53, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Non-faction deputies 

message: When Verkhovna Rada URSR was (1938-1996) in English Supreme Council (Soviet) of USSR, logically Verkhovna Rada Ukraini (from 1996) is Supreme Council of Ukraine. --Finrus (talk) 03:41, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move the article to a new name 

message: According to this source. But only BYuT members state there was shush a fight, are the making it up or was there a fight? Can't find another source just yet... — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 22:46, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fights broke out in Rada again? 

message: Is a journalist in the parliament wearing a rabbit costume interesting enough to put in this article? — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 00:37, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The Verkhovna Rada () is the present-day name of the Ukrainian parliament, but what was the name earlier, 1938-1990? --85.76.15.64 (talk) 19:13, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Last days of the Verkhovna Rada as we know it? 

message: This will need updating to reflect the recent change in government and defection of Party of Regions deputies. I have found a source here: https://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/party-of-regions-faction-becomes-opposition-337488.html that says Party of Regions now has 130 deputies and independents have risen to 121, but those numbers don't sum to the same as the current total of Party of Regions + independents, so there have obviously been some other defections not listed. There's also not enough information on how the independents split between the new government and opposition for us to update the infobox yet, but if someone can find a more complete source, please go ahead and update this.
