My money (humble argentinean pesos) on Cristina for re-election.
Cristina and Nestor and their mafia friends are convinced they will be in power for the long run. Two consecutive periods and a return after one period is skipped will allow them to go on practically indefinitely. Their reign is closer to a “democratic” monarchy than a republic. Poor Argentina, I do cry for you! Of course if the money (the People's money) runs out, there will be some kind of revolution, perhaps small and peaceful perhaps bloody. Not something to look forward to.

Aug 16th, 2010 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What a “democracy”! The political party of the K´s has not even met to select its candidate for 2011, but their “highnesses” have already decided that it will be one of them.

Can British people talk about Argentine democracy? Wasn't Blair UK premier for more than 10 years? Didn't Thatcher remained in power for 12 years? 12 years is also the period of time Chávez has been in office.
Aug 16th, 2010 - 09:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If one of the Kirchner will be the next president is also a question the people will decide by voting. That's democracy.
Ethnography
Aug 16th, 2010 - 11:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Main articles: Ethnography of Argentina and Immigration to Argentina
As with other areas of new settlement such as Canada, Australia, and the United States, Argentina is considered a country of immigrants.[41] Most Argentinians are descended from colonial-era settlers and of the 19th and 20th century immigrants from Europe, and 86.4% of Argentina's population self-identify as of European descent.[2] An estimated 8% of the population is Mestizo, and a further 4% of Argentinians are of Arab or Asian heritage
perhaps the islanders should talk to the mestizo people, or patagonians.
and forget the old argentina
yes; tell islander to talk to patagonian; to the patagonian couple in casa rosada.

Aug 17th, 2010 - 11:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has allocated Islas Malvinas as the capital for Mapuches and other native people to share with the kingdom and EU.

Argentinean oppressors want us out of the Falklands, so they can oppress the people, the Argentineans are empire builders and want the Falklands as a colony, the Falklands will always be free, and NEVER Argentinean

Aug 17th, 2010 - 11:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I't s notable how you swallow all your pathetic propaganda, and dont discern absolutly anything, beside it's evident how little you know about our history.
Regarding the soposed colonial ambitions of argentina, it was not argentina the country that become the malvinas into a colony, it was the u.k., before 1833 the malvinas were no body's colony, it was just one more part of the argentine territory, i know that you wont never accept this , but like it or not it was true.
Beside stop victimazing your country and the islanders, the actual scenario is the result of the idiot intransigence from both sides, argentina is not the only one responsable of this situation.
It's strange how axel can include so much stupidity and ignorance in a comment and blame someone else. But there are a couple of things of which we can be sure. The Falkland Islanders intransigently want to be British. And the Falkland Islanders intransigently want as little as possible to do with Argentina.
