    You prefer ties and suits and people that are totally out in touch with reality instead. You call him a simple bus driver. How many in the British parliament has actually had a proper job, besides being a lying politician?

    That hat is really funny, and a relief. For a second, I thought the man had went crazy with his religious ramblings...

    I guess since Arg follows Venezuela in everything, CFK will start showing up with a gaucho hat with a penguin on top in honour of the late 'tuerco'

    Anything to try & get her ratings up before the Oct midterm elections!!!

    I thought they would struggle to find a leader as nutty as Chavez, but they have pulled it off.

    For the sake of Venezuela, Maduro needs to win.

    @7
    There you go lying again, where did I say “ You call him a simple bus driver ”
    Comon, can you take a man in a straw hat and talks about a bird talking to him seriously? I had a hole in one today, this little bird ( seagull ) swept down and picked my ball off the fairway and dropped it in the hole. Only trouble was that the bird really dropped me in the shit because I had to pay the drinks. Can you believe that? I suppose most of the thickos in Latam would believe it.

    Not you in particular, but you lot in general.

    If you can believe and impose Christianity all over the world, sure you can believe in a bird talking, no? I mean, if a bush can do so, why not a bird?

    @Stevie We do have a lot of legal people in parliament real lawyers not like Kirchner who pretends to be a lawyer remember when she said she had amassed millions of $$ representing high profile cases to try and verify where her and Nazi Nestor had got all that stolen money from

    Yes, Maduro must get in if only to bust the country once and for all so that the blind, dumb, stupid peons can lose all their benefits.

    Then, after the civil war, somebody with a brain might get in. But what a job he/she would have; a bit like Argentina.

    If she was a lawyer
    If she was a good lawyer
    If she was an honest lawyer

    She would know she has no legal case to answer,
    The Falklands are British,

    So she was a bad lawyer
    She was a corrupt lawyer
    That’s why she went into politics .lol

    You have to feel sorry for Venezuela.
    It could be forever a 'tin pot' country

    ... where the votes of the large majority of easily-persuaded, largely illiterate and innumerate people of voting age ensure that an increasingly bizzare governance is perpetuated.

    Those educated, with an understanding of the outside world and the tenets of sound governance, may never get the opportunity to get the country off its knees. Almost by definition, these are a voting minority.

    If all the animals in the farmyard were given an vote equal to that of the farmer, the chickens would be running the farm.
    In Venezuela, the little birds are running the country, and they have notoriously little brains.

    And yes, I really do know the implication of what I am saying,
    but it still seems to me that, in Venezuela, the turkeys continue to believe the blandishments that lead directly to Christmas.

    Oh what a surprise more money owed by Argentina yet not accounted for by the Ks.
    Seems to me they are probably much deeper in debt than they were in 2001 and the interest keeps getting tacked on day by day.

    This will be one huge mess to clean up once she is out of office.

    I think the Rs will see at least a generation of depression to pay for a decade of spending with nothing to show for it.

    Maybe 2 generations.
