\u201cThe political spectrum has degraded to such an extent that we\u2019re heading into elections without debates,\u201d writes Alexander Rakviashvili, a member of the Girchi party, on social media.<\/p>\n
According to Rakviashvili, the United National Movement (UNM) and neo-Nazis show so little respect for their voters that they don\u2019t even intend to explain their position or defend it from criticism.<\/p>\n
