The long-term effect of maintain the current representation thresholds will possibly be that voters will concentrate on the main movements, but it is doubtful if such a high threshold is helpful at the stage Moldovan democracy has reached. Even more extreme are the increasing thresholds for blocks. It is probably beneficial for the effectiveness of the Parliament that pre-election coalitions are being formed, and it provides good information to voters. They should therefore be encouraged. It is not easy to understand why the threshold for such blocks needs to be higher than for parties. In that way, the incentive for building larger groups will be reduced, and work contrary to the purpose.
