The EU EOM find it unrealistic that the role of political parties could be totally eliminated in the Nicaraguan electoral authority in any near future. The party involvement could be modified in various ways, but it is probably neither feasible nor desirable to aim at its complete eradication. (...) We believe that a realistic reform would aim at clear and transparent rules for party involvement and at removing the harmful effects which a flawed kind of partisan control has had for professional standards.
