Presenter:
Hello. This is Radio 4. Welcome to Today in Politics. Today
we have a special guest from Uzbekistan, Mr Zakirov, a
member of the Oliy Majlis. Did I say it right?
Mr Zakirov:
Yes…
P: Mr Zakirov … could you tell us what is the Oliy Majlis?
Z: ... Well ... it’s like the parliament in Great Britain… you’ve got a
parliament, we’ve got the Oliy Majlis.
P: Oh… I see … our electoral system makes two parties, the Conservatives
and the Labour party powerful… other smaller parties are not happy
about this… What about your country? How does the system work?
Z: We have a system of proportional representation … so, the number of
members a party has in the Oliy Majlis is based on the number of
people who vote for a party…
P: Could you tell us about political parties in Uzbekistan?
Z: … erm … we have four main political parties… they’re The People’s
Democratic Party of Uzbekistan … Progress for Motherland … Justice
Socialist Democratic Party … the National Renaissance Democratic
