Mexican mid-term elections

The PRD will get spanked when they should be benefiting from the economic crisis when they're not in power. Why do they suck so much?

Looks like the PRI will capitalize instead, the old, dinosaur, corrupt, drug-trafficker forgiving PRI.

Isn't Mexico a democracy? Don't people vote as they seem best for the country?

If you're going to talk gibberish, at least be original and stop stealing other people's phrases that were used not that long ago...

Yes.
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. I ...[text shortened]... ent 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:

So what's the worst thing that can happen in Mexico? That the wrong man wins?
