Georgian Parliamentary elections - Oct 8

[Crumpets]

Apologies if there is already a thread for this one.

In a little over two weeks, Georgia is set to have what amounts to its second competitive Parliamentary elections. The parties are as follows:

Georgian Dream - the ruling coalition, largely focused on anti-corruption efforts without much of a coherent ideology. Despite not holding an official position within the party, billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili is effectively its ruler.
United National Movement - A conservative, staunchly pro-Western party. The party of former president Saakashvili. Currently the largest opposition party
Free Democrats - Liberal pro-Europeans
Democratic Movement – United Georgia - Conservative pro-Russians, allegedly supported by the Kremlin. Did not contest the previous election
Georgian Labour Party - a small centre-left, pro-European party
Alliance of Patriots of Georgia - Populist, anti-Western party. Did not contest the previous election
New Political Center — Girchi - Splinter group from United National Movement with a very similar ideology. Did not contest the previous election.
State for a People - Another conservative pro-European party. Did not contest the previous election.

According to Wikipedia, the 77 of the 150 seats are allocated proportionally with a threshold of 5% and the other 73 in single-member constituencies.

Most polls show Georgian Dream with a slight lead, down from their current numbers, and with many undecided voters. And anecdotally, the people I've talked to seem to believe that a small plurality win for Georgian Dream is most likely. However, Georgia has never experienced governance by coalition before, and a non-majority government would be an entirely new and unpredictable experience for the country, possibly leading to new elections soon, or heightened tensions. So the stakes are potentially pretty high.
