If this happens - I just hope the new government will be completely transparent and without corruption. (Some hope!).

in life there is always hope, change brings optimism and then ultimatly reality comes along!! yeah the Argentine posters on here will of course point out that this is the case whichever government is concerned but it is never more relevant than in the case of Argentine governments.

As long as there is uncertainty over whether Cristina will stand, her opponents will be somewhat wrong-footed.
Governments are, by their very nature, corrupt; you have a bunch of people in positions of power, some of them are going to be corrupted, its the law of averages. When you have people who are corrupt in many places of power, even the most noble President would struggle to root it out without finding themselves in deep trouble.
It would be nice if Cristina could at least sort out some of the corruption, even if it would be impossible to get rid of all of it.
