Rada: Unfinished business

The Rada has been kept from working by Regions who are strongly pushing a populist measure to increase the social standard and minimum wage. Yanukovych expects the Rada to make a decision soon on this issue.The speaker of the Rada has expressed his willingness to take up this issue during the next meeting of the Rada. Regions has everything to gain and very to little lose in pushing its measure, Yanukovych position is feel bolstered by his front runner status in the presidential election. His been ahead of Tymoshenko for some time now, as the prime minister has been hammered by the economic crisis.

The Rada also needs to make changes to the budgetary code that the president just vetoed. Lytvyn has also expressed his view on the budget code and its political implications. He sees the prime minister and Regions coming to an agreement, but what will BYuT give Regions in exchange for the votes?
