Since independence in 1991, elections in Georgia have led to the disappearance of older political parties and the emergence of new ones. As a result of this volatility, both new and old political parties in Georgia were characterized as unstable and as failing to communicate their agendas to voters.7 Many came to be seen as representatives of elites and of the old nomenklatura,8 rather than as reflections of the country’s ideological divisions. Recent public opinion data demonstrate, however, that policy issues are becoming more salient to Georgian voters.9 Surveys by the National Democratic Institute between 2012 and 2018 indicate that almost onethird of the country’s population would prefer that Georgia develop closer relations with Russia than with the European Union or NATO.
