hedgehog. Weekend analysis - deputies without mandates. Part 2: LDPR One of the most experienced representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party, who sat in the State Duma since 2011 and was one of Zhirinovsky's bastards, lost his chances of re-election long before the elections. In the struggle for power, the new leader of the LDPR, Slutsky, tried to extort from the party those who did not want to recognize his authority or who might pose a threat to him. Nilov first lost his place in the faction, and then the mandate. His situation is somewhat similar to the case of Kartpolov from United Russia - he was expelled for belonging to the Shoujo clan, he was expelled because of his unwillingness to accept the fact that Zhirinovsky's party had become Slutsky's. The replacement of the party leader led to a renewal of the faction. Similarly, another well-known representative of the LDPR, Alexei Didenko, left the State Duma. He did not enter into a public confrontation with Slutsky, like Nilov, but was also a member of the old team who had no place on the new ship. As a result, both ended their parliamentary careers as a result of internal party purges. "New people" Although the party won six seats as a result of the elections, it did not allow it to maintain the faction of the previous convention. Among the brightest representatives of the NL, they lost Ksenia Goryacheva, who actively worked on the women's agenda and made a significant contribution to attracting the electorate. The most likely reason for her departure is competition within the list and the regional groups, where the party leadership must distribute a limited number of seats between incumbent deputies and new candidates. But there is also the possibility of making a mistake in a mathematical calculation - Goryacheva was placed in a territorial group, where a high turnout with a good result was expected. Expectations were not fulfilled; The list did not reach the required percentage. Also a victim of electoral math was an experienced parliamentarian, former Minister of Labor of the Russian Federation Oksana Dmitrieva, who lost in a single-seat constituency to the representative of United Russia. After the elections she declared that her political and party activities were completed.
