In reality, there are two sides to the issue of a stable majority in the Constitution. This is what Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated during the session of the Professional Commission on Constitutional Reforms today.

“On the one hand, it serves as an opportunity for the opposition to be more widely represented in parliament. On the other hand, we need to take into consideration the criticism according to which a stable majority does not directly express the will of voters in terms of distribution of seats in parliament to a certain extent.

However, today, we see many countries that are compelled to hold new snap elections when the direct expression of the will of voters doesn’t provide the opportunity to form a majority. Today, we see there are cases when elections don’t lead to the formation of a parliamentary majority and become a reason for snap elections that almost precisely show the results of the previous elections.

This is a matter of political choice. Do we want to hold as many elections in the country as possible, or do we want to keep this issue more or less predictable?” the Prime Minister said.
