The Chilean perspective
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
This system works just fine, it has given us stability and steady progress since Pinochet was booted out. Don't mess with it.
As for the majority of Chileans not liking it, fuck them. They don't like anything anyway. Unless it's a free government handout.

True indeed
And if they want to change their election system, who are we to stop them?
I don't agree on ANY colonization, don't care if it's Argentinian or British. Fact is though, that Argentina has no colonies, Britain has quite a few...

I'm not Argentinian, my main preocupation is the British military's presence in our region. For me, the ultimate solution, is giving the Islanders an independency, and for Britain so recall (disband?) their army, big or small.

Do you feel that your own country [first] should capitulate?
Yes or no.
Then do you believe
Argentina and brazil and Chile, should capitulate,
Yes or no.

because the way I see it, you keep on demanding on here for the removal of the British, but silent on the removal of others military ..
You cant have it both ways,
Ho and by the way,
Do you feel that argentina should withdraw its military from around the world, where it is placed,
Yes or no .
simplicity at is best .
