correct me if I'm wrong (like I have to ask for that ; )
the students and the MRS seem to be doing the most to draw attention to a perceived problem with the current administration. Do any of them think the MRS will be the beneficiary of any change? Isn't it more likely that the ALN would be the beneficiary of any change? I mean longterm, next election?
Some Thoughts
My interpretation is that they feel a "pacto-free" government is a step in the right direction. Further, that it has to happen now as they see more and more consolidation of power.
As far as this goes, I tend to agree with this analysis. As a person who has always voted in the U.S. for what I felt was the best choice rather than the lesser of two evils (note that I have never voted for a winning presidential candidate) I understand what they are doing.
Another data point, of course, is the indictment against Montealegre and others. People say it is politically motivated and, well, of course it is but that doesn't mean it does not have validity. I just don't know enough about the case to have a good opinion. What I do see, however, is that the MRS continues to be the party above corruption. That, in itself, may be a big win for the MRS. That is, if there will be an MRS.
In the last presidential election, I remember thinking of all the "what ifs". Any of the four major players, ALN, FSLN, MRS and PLC, had a controlling position. That is, any of the four could have done something to change the outcome of the election. Coming from a "them or us" electoral system country, that struck me as interesting.
I am not betting on any either short-term or long-term outcome. Personally, I find the fact that there is a real opposition speaking out (rather than the them or us but we are still in control politics I came from) to be refreshing. And the fact that the media here is a bit closer to independent means you actually will get to see what is happening.
Let's see how it all plays out.
the worst
thing about Ortega is that he is no better than his competition!
Nicaragua´s problems are pretty straight-forward: High birth rate, insufficient high-value exports, poor infrastructure, and lack of an efficient and effective government.
They aren´t alone in this, many LDCs have the same problems. Nicaraguans just do it better. And, sadly, neither Ortega nor his competitors are likely to make a big change.
actually
2,3 # 4 are what will end his presidency(hopefuly without bloodshed),due to extremely low approval/support rating from even Sandinistas,not danielistas themselves and the remaining 62% that did NOT vote for him. Just my .02 centavos FAP
How about
"all of the above" as a category?
