W artykule analizuję nieefektywność systemów wyborczych w postkomunistycznej Rumunii, stosując ujęcie przedmiotowe. W tym celu, po pierwsze, twierdzę, iż dokonanie wyboru, sprzyjającego faktycznej reprezentatywności, charakteryzuje się następującymi cechami i gwarancjami: 1)wyborcy powinni posiadać różne możliwości wyboru; 2) możliwości te powinny być realne;3)wybrane osoby powinny mieć wolę do implementowania woli wyborców; 4) wybrane osoby powinny być pociągnięte do odpowiedzialności, jeśli rażąco i systematycznie odmawiają implementowania woli wyborców. Twierdzę ponadto, że w Rumunii żadna z tych wymienionych cech i gwarancji nie ma miejsca, co w znacznym stopniu wynika z postkomunistycznej spuścizny.
