So therefore... what?
So if the people want another governement, they'll vote for it, or else there will be no change. Noone will take power without the support of the people. That's democracy in action.

FabianFnas, I don't disagree with you. Still, the politics of who wins, how, who gets power and what they do with it are fascinating to some political junkies such as myself, and Mexican politics particularly interest me. Do you not enjoy a good political story or discussion?/debate?

Yes of course I enjoy a good political story. But it is nothing but a story if you don't put reality into it.
The good thing about true democracy is that people is always in power. But only if they want. That's the reality.
Yes of course I enjoy a good political debate. I even participate in it.
To freely debate is in the very fabric of democracy. In those countries where the gouvernement controls the information and debates, people haven't democracy. Is Mexico such a country?

Agreed that democracy gives the people a voice, unlike some closed societies.
Mexico is no Iran, Mexico is an open society where elections are free and fair, if sometimes a little melodramatic:

Your OP was another one of your "happy bunny" type attempts at being snide. All it was was a silly 2 dimensional rant. Mexican politics, the sports fan's view, by eljefejesus. Fabian is making the only point that can be made in response to your OP silliness. Who'd want to debate it with you when the OP is a cack handed partisan poisoning of the well? Take it directly to Seitse, spanky!

and 3 years of bad policies from a totalitarian party that held mexico in a one-party system for 70 years until the last few years of a chaotic but free multiparty democracy.

If the people of Mexico wants this worst-case scenario, then they'll get what they vote for. That's democracy, the power of the majority.
