Thanks for the insight. It was inevitable indeed, but it puts the stability of the gov't at risk IMO.

When a news story about a parliamentary or semi-parliamentary system talks about a coalition "collapse" they don't mean the same thing as what happened this February. It just means snap elections within a couple months.

The government was never going to be stable until an entirely new set of elections. Keeping the pre-Euromaidan majorities around under a post-Euromaidan President and a country firmly exiting Russia's orbit would've just meant nothing got passed. And stuff really needs to get passed; their budget is in a bad way.
