The Chavistas were loyal to Chavez, not to his party nor his ideology, and certainly not to any of the pantheon of lackluster and incompetant PSUV officials that he has surrounded himself with. Without Chavez, I don't think they can win an election, now or at anytime in the forseeable future. Why else would they have waited as long as they have?<br /><br />Having said that, you are assuming that they will hold elections. I don't think they will risk it. I think they will just declare that Maduro as the titular president was Chavez's wish, and they will find a way to declare it "Constitutional". And even then, the system will still collapse this year.Roynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-37125478562735934912013-02-15T10:34:54.610+01:002013-02-15T10:34:54.610+01:00"this prediction as explained earlier is base..."this prediction as explained earlier is based on the presumption that chavismo will 1) stick to a minimum of legalese to make the election believable"<br /><br />I think it's time to stop believing in fairy talesAlbertonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-48966890290528666512013-02-15T05:31:01.525+01:002013-02-15T05:31:01.525+01:00yes syd, out with it!yes syd, out with it!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-54851313789100421762013-02-15T05:30:30.362+01:002013-02-15T05:30:30.362+01:00well, let's not forget that on the other hand ...well, let's not forget that on the other hand that they pushed an ex-tempore devaluation may also mean that they want cash next months to buy votes through april and may. so they may daring to think about a post may date which i think could be fatal for them....Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-1114825757260423772013-02-15T04:21:43.118+01:002013-02-15T04:21:43.118+01:00You are too generous...You are too generous...Miguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531734875286475335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-40405614934540384132013-02-15T03:26:43.727+01:002013-02-15T03:26:43.727+01:00Syd, dish it out!Syd, dish it out!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409833836497330449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-52919423295931039592013-02-15T02:47:03.398+01:002013-02-15T02:47:03.398+01:00A little birdie tells me that Ch won't live to...A little birdie tells me that Ch won't live to see March 2013...perhaps not even next week. <br /><br />Though he caused so much tragedy, nonetheless, I hope he's on morphine.sydnoreply@blogger.com
