close to the Kremlin together with ISSI fund operating on its Support Center lawmaking prepared “Rating lawmakers” at the end of the last parliamentary session.
The experts formed a “Top 50 lawmakers.” On the position of a deputy in the rankings affect the number of bills introduced, their social relevance, quality and support initiatives colleagues Duma.
«The greatest effectiveness (in the sense of place in the rating of the deputy. -” Times “) It gives a consolidated vote when the bill was supported by all four factions. In case of rejection of initiatives, taking into account most of the “United Russia” in the State Duma, when for the bill voted in the majority of deputies of opposition factions, it also gave an extra point, “- explained the director of research at ISEP Alexander Pozhalov.
At the end of the second half of 2015 the authors of the rating recorded decrease in the number of deputies who make laws.
During this period, only 240 MPs (53%) have made the initiative. In the previous session, a similar figure was higher. In the spring of 2015 he was the deputy of 293 (65%), and in autumn 2014 – 266 deputies (59%).
The authors of the rating is considered that this trend has several explanations. “In the context of the return of a mixed system of elections to the State Duma for many deputies who intend to re-election in the districts, in the autumn of priority was not the legislative activity in the Parliament, and work in the territory”, – said chairman of the board of directors ISEP Dmitry Badovsky.
This is especially true for the United Russia deputies, who need to advance to prepare for internal party primaries: they determined the results of the ruling party candidates in the elections to the State Duma, as well as the party program will be created.
The role is played by the fact that many members of the ruling party in this session opted not to make a separate bill, and concentrate on the preparation of amendments to the budget for the second reading.
In the case of the parliamentary opposition, the situation is different.
According to the report, in contrast to the “United Russia” the other parliamentary parties decided to the main theme of his campaign program back in 2015 and now seek to use the right to make laws, to draw attention to their own ideas.
In the explanatory memorandum to the rating says lawmaking statistics show that the party leadership Parliamentary opposition has basically defined a group of key speakers who will uphold the Party’s program during the federal election campaign and debate. It was these MPs in the autumn session of the most performed authors socially significant or resonance bills on behalf of their parties, while the activity of “backbenchers” in opposition factions began to decline.
«I would not say that we was divided when bills are making only some specific speakers – said “Gazeta.ru” secretary of the presidium of the central council of “Fair Russia”, State Duma deputy Alexander Burkov. – We are in favor of such a notice does not. But occasionally there are situations when we have to pay the same bills several times due to the fact that they reject the “United Russia”. However, if we “finish off” her, she is still making the amendments to the laws that we want to make, but only from themselves ».
The vice-speaker of the State Duma from the LDPR, Igor Lebedev said” Gazeta.ru ” that “a kind of division within the factions there since the beginning of the new parliament: there are deputies who write the bills, there are those who promote them to the Committee, as well as those engaged in party work. Some mainly act on television. And this applies to every faction ».
The authors record that the total number of bills introduced by deputies, the last session increased compared with previous periods. In the autumn of 2014 in the State Duma received 333 parliamentary initiatives, and now – 350. The share of parliamentary initiatives among all the bills (right of legislative initiative also have a president, the government, senators, the Legislative Assembly of Regions, the Supreme and Constitutional Courts) has increased to 56 from 47% in first half .
At the same time, experts fix the worsening statistics on the quality of the study of bills.
Share Revocation and return initiatives has grown to 19% of the total number of bills in the last six months the figure was 15%.
«As a rule, the return of the bills sponsors associated with non-compliance of the regulations of the above initiatives, which involve additional budget expenditure that is often – the bill of a social nature, which are election and sometimes even populist painting “- explains the head of the Center for Promotion of lawmaking Vadim Vinogradov.
Leaders in the number of initiatives have returned” Just Russia “Oleg Nilov began; in the Communist Party – a group of deputies focused their work on the deputy chairman of the CPRF Central Committee Valery Rashkin; in the Liberal Democratic Party – Alexei Didenko, in the “United Russia” – Rafael Mardanshin.
Finally, experts say reducing the practice of consensus vote on the bill.
In the first half of last year to 70% of parliamentary bills were accepted in the first and third reading unanimously by all factions. However, over the past autumn such solidarity deputies showed in the first reading in 56% of cases.
And more often go against the majority of the Communists.
«The party thus occupies a niche main opposition in relation to the ruling party and at the same time trying to stand apart from competitors in the field of protest – the CP and the Liberal Democratic Party “- says Badovskiy.
The final ranking of the top 50 leading legislators” United Russia “. The rating included 26 deputies from the ruling party.
From the parliamentary opposition most effectively uses the Duma platform for software-political positioning “Fair Russia”, the report said. If the spring on the Socialist-Revolutionaries in the ranking of the six deputies were present, but now their representation increased to 10. Spravorossy continue to make initiatives mainly on social issues. This tactic has proven itself during the election campaign in 2015.
The LDPR has expanded its presence in the overall standings with four to seven deputies. On the eve of legislative elections have increased the activity of the party heavyweights Igor Lebedev (23th position), Sergey Ivanov (38th position), Vladimir Zhirinovsky (46 th position). The leader in legislative activity for the last session at the Liberal Democrats became Yaroslav Nilov (15th position).
In the Communist Party in the ranking of the six members of parliament (as at the end of the spring session). The study’s authors attribute this to the party taken in the course of the confrontation with the “United Russia”. “The Communists have ignored a number of coalition projects, gave high marks to competitors, as well as often providing no support proposals for the electoral law, social issues and housing and communal services”, – explains Vinogradov.
However, in first place in the study suddenly was not representative of the ruling party, and the leader of the CP, Sergei Mironov.
His result – a 37 draft laws put forward in the 13 rejected, seven revoked or returned, and three taken as a whole.
The second place – a representative of the ruling party, the head of the budget committee Andrei Makarov. On the third – the deputy head of the faction SR Mikhail Emelyanov.
But the most successful representative of the Communist Party in the ranking – the deputy chairman of the committee on constitutional legislation Vadim Solovyov – only takes 32 th place.
The most important initiatives of the last session of the parliamentary experts ISEP contributed bill for exemption from payment of contributions for the repair of seniors aged 80 and older. All five authors are “Fair Russia”. In refining the initiative joined by 25 deputies from other factions, and with the filing of the party in power bill was amended to establish the right incentives in the regions for seniors over 70 years old and disabled.
