Russia and Belarus to create joint Parliament and Government

[Mingle]

Belarusian Ambassador to Russia Vladimir Semashko said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko agreed to create a joint Parliament and government as part of the Union State.

"The presidents agreed that the stated goals are ambitious, and they should not change. These goals include the transition to unified tax legislation, the creation of common markets for oil, gas, and electricity, the creation of a single Parliament and government with executive authority when independent Russia and Belarus give up certain governing functions. This task is now being solved," said Semashko, as cited by Reformation news outlet.

According to Semashko, now the roadmaps for integration into the Union state are being developed. 20 of the 31 road maps have already been agreed upon. Other roadmaps should be ready within one week.

The Union State is a supranational union of Russia and Belarus with the organization of a single political, economic, military, customs, currency, legal, humanitarian, and cultural space.

Well nobody can say for shure, but you can look up history of union state and see that not much happened after the idea was first mentioned.

It's preparations for one of possible future scenarios. Serves multitude of purposes: from exposing internal opposition preemptively to sending message internationally. To make it real one condition should be met - total destruction of liberal faction in Russian politics with subsequent cleansing of entire governing apparatus. In turn that is only possible if Trump's camp will win in 2020 which means total loss of US support for Russian liberal camp.

On the contrary, Belarus does relatively well without importing millions of cheap guest workers like RF. So, let it stay where it is for its own good.
