one week for the presidential elections here and...

Post by Arcadia » October 20th, 2007, 8:14 pm

it only feels like spring... everybody (me included) seems to be busy in other daily things... it´s really weird.

I´m about to vote in blanco or to vote to the Partido Socialista Auténtico & Proyecto Sur. Never voted before the PSA, I really have no idea about its history as a party. I still have to research... :shock: But I´ve read about Proyecto Sur and I know through years Pino Solanas and Carlos del Frade (a well known journalist, local-historiador and human rights militante from Rosario). I would be interesting, a cine-director as a president!!!!!!!!!

But at some point all sounds a bit surreal...... and I´m afraid that our country is ingobernable if there is not something-like-a-peronista-president... that´s sad.... the facts, the facts... and the last president did some good things at least in a revisionist-dangerously-sometimes-only-simbolic-way... and he also lied about inflation indices.... and his wife is insoportable.... and there are too much right-wing voices also.... also in not active-politic people... and it´s too dificult to think and feel that something really different is possible... so I feel a bit guilty and stupid, voting something like a left wing president that I´m sure he´ll not win and expecting that something-like-a-peronista candidate win to the other candidates except the one I vote because I think they are worst. I would also feel awful voting in blanco or not going to vote as my friends of the PCR advice. Well, let´s face it!

vote only they are against so-called Free Trade aggrees. with America. Stand up against Bush and team wit Chavez, and Michelle Basketball.

not A.L.C.A put my options in a non conflict way, thanks!!. But it´s no so simple or I´m afraid it is...

(no idea about Michelle Basketball and ALCA, if I remember well Chile´s latest governments had a different attitude about it.)

does Argentina have a parliamentary system?
Why so many parties?
Is there a coalition block of "progressive" parties?

If you vote your conscience, and enough others do also,
will this help a conservative ("Peronista") to get elected?

Are the Peronistas the right wingers?
