Of course, there's a prerequisite for this scenario.
That is, the faction that enters the fray early must have enough competitiveness to threaten the other factions.
Therefore, at the beginning, Khodorkovsky's faction didn't alert the first and second factions, but once Wang Ye's third faction entered the fray, they simply couldn't sit still...
Wang Ye's third faction was indeed a threat to their seats in the Duma!
There are only 450 seats in the Duma, and when a faction's seats increase, it's clear that the seats of other factions will decrease.
It's all corresponding!
Clearly, no faction would willingly sit back and watch other factions take their seats.
Because that would trigger a series of chain reactions, and malicious ones at that...
When the number of seats is reduced, it means that the faction's influence in the Duma will decrease. This will also intensify the faction's internal strife, as every high hill wants to get those limited Duma seats.
