    Sing along -

    Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines.
    They Go Up, Tiddly, Up, Up.
    They Go Down, Tiddly, Down, Down.
    They Enchant All The Ladies And Steal All The Scenes
    With their Up, Tiddly, Up, Up
    And They're Down, Tiddly, Down, Down.
    Up! Down! Flying Around.
    Looping The Loop And Defying The Ground.
    They're All, Frightfully Keen
    Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines. ................ ”

    It is, of course, the defying the ground that leads to problems :-)

    Thera are a big undercover campaing from the leftist paties to attack the Piñera's Gvt. because the country is working well, even acomplishing with proposals that rhe 20 years lestist Gvts. didn´t, as the 6 month maternity leave, educational reform with better testing results, improvement in the Santiago metropolitan transport (Transantiago), growing up GDP last fiscal year up to 6% even the biggets hearthquake in more than 60 years (with a quickly and successful reconstruction compared to other countries with softer ones), etc.
    Have anyone checked what political parties the leaders of lasthard movementes (pupils, ecologist, workers, etc.) they belong to??? Yeap, you´r right: LEFTIST, including comunist mainly and socialist (PS and PPD)...you don´t need to be tyoo clever to get that.....
    Why the pupils are mixing other claims off the educational issues when the authority solve what they have asked? because the idea is to keep the pupils long term out of rooms to obtain lower results next year..., and the same with the labour unions...They are trying, in all the possible ways, to crash the succesful results and to divert the public opinion to pre-built conflicts in specific matters....but the silent majority don´t participate on that and the political oposotion parties disaproval is higher than the the Gvt. disaproval wich show us that they are in the wrong way, becuase the people is awaiting for a proposal opsition with clever ideas, future vision, and long term commitment, contrary to the selffish attitude showed until now where they are leaded just to sink this Gvt. one way or another (using the “social networks” to hide their black hands behinds)....where the the poorest get the worse piece of the cake.

    I totally agree with last commet of mr sergio vega, of course there is a big attack from left side that having a popular/communist way of thinking of course they involve people to attack the government in every detail....when really things are going well, as last comment said...and believe that the people into 65% desapproving the govmt is not taking in consideration....that's because they don't see how important things are being managed...believe also that's because our low level of education...how is possible that students don't want to study because the want an education “100% free of charge”...that's impossible.....if would be possible of course will be a poor education....

    with best regards

    You have to see the positive side about right-wing billionaire Sebastian Piñera, he's going to have plenty of time to go kiss Cameron and the Queen feet when his mandate ends in next election.
    Bring the rocks back from England and ¡No a Hidroaysén!
    Saludos al pueblo chileno y felicitaciones.
