Konstantin Babkin about the party program: " Today our party considers it its task to come to power in the country. However, power is just a tool for achieving the main goal - to change the fate of Russia. To make from the raw materials semi-colony of the developed world Great Russia with developed science, industry and agriculture, the leader of world development".

He also states: " We see how the current government squanders forces and means in useless, ruinous for the economy "sports megaprojects", allegedly in the interests of the country's politics and image. What is, from our point of view, a criminal act leading to undermining national economy and the deepening backwardness of Russia, the acceleration of its degradation. Only real developing country with a strong non-resource economy is a real national prestige. Until the new industrialization is successful, we say: "First - factories, then - stadiums!"

In defending its views, the party was noted for several loud shares... So on October 12, 2010 near the building of the Ministry Agriculture Russia held a picket against the reduction of subsidies to agriculture. The picket was attended by 20 people.

In November 2010, a picket was held there against Russia's entry into WTO... Party activists have promised that they will hold rallies every Wednesday while the Minister of Agriculture Elena Skrynnik does not recognize the decision to lower agricultural subsidies to the WTO level as erroneous. Since then, pickets on this topic have been held almost every week. At one of them, even employees of the Ministry of Agriculture expressed support for the protesters.

On December 7, 2010 the promotion started "Gasoline for 15 rubles"- the requirement to reduce energy prices to an acceptable level.

At the beginning of April 2012, the registration process was launched in the building of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. referendum on the issue of Russia's accession to the WTO - the first meeting of the organizing committee and a meeting of the Moscow regional subgroup. The meeting of the regional subgroup, which took place in the building of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Moscow, was attended by over 300 people. The initiators were a public organization "Russian People's Council", "Trade Union of Russian Citizens", Interregional Public Organization "VECHE" and the Party of the Cause. On April 13, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation found it impossible to hold a referendum in Russia on the country's accession to the World Trade Organization.

Some political analysts believe that the Party of Cause can win over the electorate, and its creation " will bring Babkin to a new level of relations with officials". President of the Petersburg Politics Foundation Mikhail Vinogradov does not see any prospects for the party, although he admits that it has an electoral base. Rostov political scientist Sergey Smirnov doubts that the party will be able to gain broad support among voters and get into the Duma in the next elections. The President of the Institute for National Strategy believes that " one of the new parties that are now trying to register can be registered in order to remove the question of the fundamental impossibility of registering a party in Russia".

The Party of the Cause is a political party whose headquarters are not based in Moscow. It is located in Rostov-on-Don. The party explains this by positioning itself as a party of regions. She's not the only one. Party central apparatus "Will" is also based not in Moscow, but in Samara.

Scandals (rumors)

The party logo is apparently based on the presidential campaign logo Barack Obama 2008 year. In the original edition, the bee was the symbol of the Party of Cause, since, according to the leaders of the party, it is a symbol of hard work.

The Party of Delo has been accused of extremism and covert support of the "swamp" opposition because of its independent policy from the Kremlin.

So, in the summer of 2015, the State Duma proposed to deprive the Party of its registration. One of the authors of the initiative was the deputy from. The reason for such a harsh statement was the attacks of the members of this party on the Russian government. At the end of June, a member of the federal council of the Cause Party Yuri Krupnov said that the Russian government, with about 25-40 million hectares of abandoned land, besides not using them in any way, also does not have any strategic plans for further use.

In the published material of Izvestia it is said that "the deputies consider that the members of the Party of the Cause of Chinese Land Investors provoke support." We are talking about the scandalous issue of transferring land to the Chinese in Transbaikalia. On this basis, Deputy Fedorov prepared an appeal to the Ministry of Justice, in which he asks to consider the issue of revoking the registration of the "Party of Cause". However, it turned out that the party members did not declare anything of the kind.

The leader of the Party of Delo, industrialist Konstantin Babkin, is also surprised by Fedorov's initiative. " The deputy either misunderstood the position of Krupnov and other members of the Federal Council, or deliberately distorted it", - he thinks.

In September 2015, on August 10, the Party of Cause refused to register the list of candidates for the People's Choice Kostroma Regional Duma... According to the election commission, the party association provided insufficiently reliable signatures of voters in support of its nomination.

However, the party members provided evidence of multiple violations of federal laws by the election commission of the Kostroma region: the issuance of dubious resolutions, the appearance of corrections and blots in subscription lists, which categorically refused to seal when they were submitted, absurd recognition of the invalidity of the signature sheets, deliberately incorrect sending data to the Kostroma FMS for verification signature lists, refusal to accept objections of a party representative during a meeting of the working group, communication between members of the working group and government officials during signature verification, pressure and threats against candidates during the election campaign, and so on.

However, these arguments did not help and the party dropped out of the Kostroma election race.

Rights and obligations of political parties

The rights granted to political parties should, on the one hand, ensure their freedom of activity and fulfillment of public tasks stipulated by law, and, on the other hand, guarantee the existence and normal functioning of a multi-party system. The Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Political Parties" contains a chapter devoted to this issue. In the manner prescribed by the legislation of Russia, a political party has the right

a) freely disseminate information about their activities, promote their views, goals and objectives;

b) participate in the development of decisions of state authorities and local self-government bodies in the manner and volume established by this Federal Law and other laws;

c) participate in elections and referenda in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation;

d) create regional, local and primary branches, including those with the rights of a legal entity, make decisions on their reorganization and liquidation;

e) organize and conduct meetings, rallies, demonstrations, processions, picketing and other public events;

f) to establish publishing houses, news agencies, printing enterprises, mass media and educational institutions of additional education for adults;

g) use state and municipal mass media on equal terms;

h) create associations and alliances with other political parties and other public associations without forming a legal entity;

i) defend their rights and represent the legitimate interests of their members;

j) establish and maintain international relations with political parties and other public associations of foreign states, join international unions and associations;

k) carry out entrepreneurial activities in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the charter of a political party.

On this, the law does not limit the activities of a political party; it is also entitled to carry out other kinds of actions established by Russian law. The statutes of political parties may contain other provisions.

While granting political parties broad rights and freedoms, legislation at the same time assigns them responsibilities. Most often in the legislation of foreign countries, they are formulated in the very general view, in the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Political Parties" they are more specific. In accordance with Article 27, a political party is obliged to:

a) comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws, federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, as well as the charter of a political party;

b) annually submit to the authorized bodies information on the number of members of a political party in each of the regional branches, on the continuation of their activities indicating the location of the permanent governing body, on their structural parties have the right to take part in elections and (or) referendums, as well as a copy of the consolidated financial report of a political party on the receipt and expenditure of funds in the reporting year submitted to the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation;

c) admit representatives of authorized bodies to open events (including congresses, conferences or general meetings) held by a political party, its regional branches and other structural divisions;

d) notify in advance the election commission of the appropriate level about the activities related to the nomination of their candidates (lists of candidates) for deputies and other elective positions in government bodies and local self-government bodies, and admit representatives of the election commission of the corresponding level to these events.

These obligations are far from declarative in nature, for non-observance, legal responsibility is provided for in the form of suspension of the activities of a political party, which may lead to liquidation

All the rights of political parties are collective, although many of them coincide with the individual constitutional rights of citizens, these rights do not belong to individual individuals, but to their associations - political parties - as specific subjects of law and can only be exercised by them.
