    the knack of these kinds of elections ( for all countries) is :
    **********************
    the selected person is just -- 1-- person.

    the selecting people is too many and diverse.
    ***********************
    what does this means.....very simple that ,
    the selecting people never understand and filter of the
    nominees' characters !
    ***********************
    i haven't voted in my life !

    @1 lol. You don't vote (I assume, with the greatest of respect, that you are old enough) and you only want one candidate? Hmmmm. Are you not a fan of democracy?

    CFK needs to make a decision for the sake of her country. If she doesn't want to run - and who could blame her if she is, indeed, ill and still in mourning - she must give the voters a chance to assess alternative candidates.

    The monarchy doesn't run the UK, fortunately. : )

    Hasn't there always been a trend towards political dynasties in Latin America too?

    “Argentina makes official October 23 as Election Day” I'll vote in August.

    “A second round election will be held November 20 in the event that no presidential contender wins at least 40% of the vote and leads the runner up by a margin greater than 10 percentage points, according to a decree published in the Official Bulletin.”
