agree  danya: up to кажется мне наиболее удачным вариантом
8 hrs
  -> Thank you
neutral  MarianaShm: Часто ли "up to" употребляется в официальной речи и документах? Мне в основном это встречалось в разговорной речи и неофициальной обстановке. /// I see your point. Thanks for the reply. :-)
9 hrs
  -> That was my initial thought too, but "это ее дело" sounds quite casual and snappy to me, as are some other parts of this sentence, so I think it fits the original.
agree  Simon Geoghegan: I think I'd go for "path" rather than "option". "It's up to the Duma which path to choose"
10 hrs
  -> Thank you. I agree, "path" does sound better.
agree  Natalia Volkova: That`s OK with rendering the style of the original text.

Duma does as it wills.


Explanation:
Just a little poetic licence:
You cannot dictate to the wind. It does as it wills.

The executive does as it wills: passing Orders in Council, making appointments to tribunals and the judiciary, and creating law rubber-stamped
