Just shows how limited Chile's democracy is that having more than 2 candidates is seen as a problem or unusual. Pinochet had it sewn up tight on the way out but hopefully Bachelet will prise it open in elections more important than these

Well, BK... flaws in Chilean democracy according to you, I would reather call it a normal democratic process. At least we have options to vote in Chile, may it be Bachelet, Velasco or any other potential candidate. Can you say that about your belowed Kirchners monarchy over the andes? Don't think so.

It will be Cristina for the thirs time (4th Kirchner in power in a row) and after that it will be fatty junior (possibly another 2 cycles)
