So the neo-Nazis have seized power in Ukraine

121. There are several big problems with your assertion.

#1 - They were a small member of an opposition in a parliamentary system. If you are familiar with politics in such a system, if you are a party with members elected to the parliament, you either join with the ruling coalition or you join with the opposition.

#2 - When the order in a parliamentary system changes via an election or the kind of upheaval we have now, all of that changes and is in flux. Thus, your use of the present tense is incorrect, particularly when you yourself acknowledge that there is an interim President from a party that was in the opposition. That itself signifies that a massive redrawing of the ruling coalition and opposition is about to happen. There cannot be a minority ruling coalition in most parliaments.

#3 - The interim President under Ukraine's constitution has a hobbled role and is basically just there to keep things running until the next election. So, once again, any interim coalition is just a placeholder. The people of Ukraine will get to elect whomever they want as soon as elections can be set up.
