Talk:State Duma

Math problem
Numbers don't sum up. I guess 450 is max by constitution. In reality someone may, e.g,. die. So, what's up with the tally? mikka (t) 21:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

According to the Duma's website the current nubmer of MPs is 448. You are correct that the members may die or quit (additional elections are conducted permanently). MPs may also move from one fraction to another. For example, the same website states that the proportions currently are:

United Russia - 310 (68.89%) Communists   - 46  (10.22%)

LDPR	     - 35  (7.78%)

Rodina I     - 29  (6.44%)

Rodina II    - 12  (2.67%) Others       - 16  (3.56%)

So, the question is how to reflect this information in the article, because the chart looks more like the elections results rather than uptodate situation (I mean colomn "Popular vote"). If we delete this colomn we may keep editting the chart to reflect current changes Tarabarsky 18:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

2003 numbers, not up to date.
This article is not up to date. Russia just had a Parliamental Election. What are the CURRENT (2007) composition?--24.87.7.43 (talk) 03:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Parliaments
Down at the bottom of the page is a list of international parliaments in Europe. This list is inaccurate. To cite problems, both linked articles with references to Ireland and Northern Ireland deal specifically with former parliaments rather than with the Oireachtas, the modern Irish parliament, and the Northern Ireland Assembly, the modern leglisative body for the province of Northern Ireland.

"Confidence and Supply"
Do we have a source for saying LDPR and Rodina have a formal confidence and supply arrangement with United Russia? The way the article is written implies a formal arrangement, and not just informal "systemic opposition" status often discussed with these parties, but I've found nothing in my searches that supports the existance of such an agreement. Please advise. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 01:54, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Seeing no sources, I'm going to remove the "confidence and supply" claim and list them as opposition. If this is going to be in the article it needs to be cited. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 02:43, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Aren't the sanctions imposed by the EU worthy of a section in this article?
Today, the EU announced that it will "extend restrictive measures to cover all the 351 members of the Russian State Duma..." who voted to "recognise the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk 'republics.'" They list the measures taken, although they did not mention names. You can find it here MagnoliaSouth (talk) 20:01, 23 February 2022 (UTC)


 * An entire section? No, I think absolutely not. And these sanctions only apply to those current deputies who voted in favour of recognition, this body in its current form exists since 1993. Mellk (talk) 20:11, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Rubber stamp?
There appears to be overwhelming evidence within this article to justify using the phrase "Rubber Stamp" to describe the Duma, presently. Do any other editors object to including this phrase in the article? 2600:387:F:4312:0:0:0:8 (talk) 00:42, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Upon further review, it appears the "Rubber Stamp Legislature" article includes the Duma, and is well sourced. I feel comfortable adding this characterization to the article, what opinions do other editors have? 2600:387:F:4313:0:0:0:9 (talk) 00:06, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it can be mentioned in history section about its gradual transformation to a rubber stamp, since it was competitive in its earlier days. The slide to authoritarianism was gradual and I would say after 2011-2012 (when there was a surge of opposition and this was clamped down). Depending on what RS state.
