Kyiv, January 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – According to the results of the social poll held by the Ukrainian Razumkov Economic and Political Research Center on January 8-16 and released at a Thursday press conference, eight parties and political blocs would enter the Verkhovna Rada if elections were held today. 2,019 respondents under 18 from all Ukrainian regions took part in the poll.

At the same time 8.9% of pollees would not vote at all.
According to the estimations based on the CEC current scheme, the seats in the parliament would be arranged in the following way: Our Ukraine – 66 seats, Communist party – 57, Women for Future – 21, SDPU (U) – 19, Greens – 17, For United Ukraine – 17, Yulia Tymoshenko's bloc and Socialist party – 14.
