Geoana stressed that the party he runs chose to back the majority uninominal voting system in a single round of elections, not in two rounds of elections for which it had so far struggled, considering the possibility to create a majority in Parliament and cut the costs with the electoral campaign.

Geoana said his party ca no longer back the majority uninominal voting system in two rounds of elections, as most MPs thumb down this variant.

Geoana accused both the democrats and President Traian Basescu of "opportunism and hypocrisy," pointing out the fact that the democrats’ representatives in the electoral code commission first voted against the social-democrats’ proposal on the uninominal voting system, while after the referendum initiated by Basescu they changed their mind and said they would back the social-democrats’ proposal.
