[edit] History
In July 2007, the old Our Ukraine bloc had been reorganized with Civil Movement "People's Self-Defense" into the Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc for the 2007 parliamentary election in September 2007.[1] The member parties had planned to merge into a single party in December 2007[2] but on November 16, 2007 People’s Self-Defense decided to end its participation in the process of forming a united party[3] since then that process is unclear[4]. The alliance currently holds 72 out of 450 parliamentary seats.
