Perhaps the light is dawning on some of the more intelligent RG's.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 10:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0For their sake let us hope so.
Presumably Moyano will stand for president himself, as leader of a manual workers' party. Is this his intent?
Jul 09th, 2013 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is there a potentially viable part of the middle class/professional class?

Jul 09th, 2013 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0You would think that was his intent but does it really stck up?
Can you really see the middle and upper classes voting for him even though he seems to be free of bipolar disorder unlike many of the government?
Time will tell, but having his union NOT vote for TMBOA could well spoil her day.
AND after everything she has done for them!
LOLs
Vote for Christina I love a laugh her and tinman have been the best giggle I've had for ages closely followed by the ginger trolley dolly

Jul 09th, 2013 - 12:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All Moyano needs is a majority, and there are many more workers than there are drones.
Moyano has expressed ambitions to run in the past, I believe. I am not sure he would get the majority vote but stranger things have happened in Argentina.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 01:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dear Argentinian voting public.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 02:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please, please, please ignore him and vote for the reincarnation of Evita again.
Frankly, the rest of us are shit scared that you might one day, just might one day, elect someone to power who knows just exactly WTF they are doing!
No, avoid TMBOA. I really want to see her head chopped off. Or perhaps we could have a worldwide videocast of the garotting. I really would like to see her eyes popping out, her tongue extruding. No change from the way she looks at the moment!
Jul 09th, 2013 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hey, the article missed : no money in ATMs since Friday afternoon and none today (Jul 9.) Entire country broke for the holiday weekend.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 02:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That would seem to be a fair indicator that something is amiss!
Jul 09th, 2013 - 02:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Really? No money? I had not heard that. If people cannot get money to buy food they will just take it.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 03:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ptolemy.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 03:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can not find a report on that story. Are you able to provide a link?
Would be interesting to read.

Jul 09th, 2013 - 03:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is not a report by itself. It is simply a consequence of Moyano's strike. It was reported by the local papers Saturday or Friday (and confirmed by me.)
Thanks.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 03:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nothing better than first hand knowledge.
You can’t force the people to choose in a free election,
Jul 09th, 2013 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If hey choose her again –then that’s their funeral assured,
On the other hand if they reject her,
Just make sure you use rubber instead of rope,
It might give her a bigger headache ?? lol.

Jul 09th, 2013 - 07:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is an unsubstantiated statement by Martín Gambarotta in a very interesting article today at BsAs Herald:
http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/135414/moyano-tries-to-take-centre-stage
Puts a whole new meaning to “complicated” as it applies to The Dark Country and has a gem on Pistol Peter Moreno.
“does this lady not know she is creating conditions similar to the neo-liberal policies that destroyed jobs”.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 08:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OK, so if “neo-liberalism” destroyed jobs AND at the other end of the scale, “Kirchnerism/inclusionism” is also destroying jobs.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of economics Moyano might bring to the table that will promote job creation?
Vote for CFK!!!!!!!-the first Argentine president to awake all the Falkland MLAS's out of their long, complacent hibernation, and actually make them study their OWN history, and counter Argentina's fairy tales.
Jul 09th, 2013 - 08:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And CFK and Timmerturd-it's thanks to you that the FIG is taking over the foreign policy bit the UK government and foreigner's office did so badly in the past-you may pour scorn on the referendum and the Islander's overseas road show, but mock you may, the genie is out of the bottle and you idiots pulled out the stopper.
Only defence left.
If there's a lot of oil, even that hurdle will fall as the horses gallop faster.
Would be nice to see the Ghurka's join an enlarged FIDF in the future.

Jul 09th, 2013 - 09:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well the Sultan of Brunei pays to keep one regiment of Gurkha in Brunei full time, the Falklands may well be able to do something similar with their oil revenue.
The Gurkha's are always up for a good fight, and they feel cheated as the last time they faced Argentine troops, those same Argentine troops fled back to Stanley rather than fight.

Take your head out of that peat bog and show me this new legislation.....
and don't say that it's because they were invited to a meeting with Argentina.....
Was this meeting to discuss sovereignty?
Was it to discuss British Foreign policy?
Or was it to discuss anything but that?
They are quite entitled to discuss fisheries......their economy.....etc with another country.........NOT BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY
“If there's a lot of oil, even that hurdle will fall as the horses gallop faster.”
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
If turnips were swords, i'd wear one by my side
If ifs and ands were pots and pans,
there'd be no work for tinkers' hands”
Seems kirchner can't get a break....what's a thief to do!

Jul 09th, 2013 - 11:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think your poem is quite nice. As a child I only knew the first line.
In any case it does get one to think about who is in control and who wishes to be be in control.
CFK has done more to promote the Falkland Island's future independence than any other politician on the planet.
Jul 10th, 2013 - 02:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0For the sake of the Islands, I hope she wins another presidential term.
20. That was my solution too. A nice Ghuka regiment to keep the barbarians at bay.
Jul 10th, 2013 - 12:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The only person I hate more than CFK is Moyano.......having spent years supporting the Kirchner model he quickly turned traitor to his own cause when CFK refused to include him as her running mate
Jul 10th, 2013 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is no better example of a union leader with too much power trying to use his workers as pawns in his own political ambitions
Imagine Jimmy Hoffa trying to run for the presidency of the US...... well we all know what happened to him.......or do we???

No idea, but Argentina refused to attend so they clearly don't want dialogue, despite continually requesting it.
“If wishes”
Like the 'if' the Argentine claim over the Falklands is.
In fact, it was an 'if' in the 1960s and 1970s, now it's a total no hoper.
An 'if' because Argentina's imperialist dreams of conquering the Falklands are less likely to occur than oil being found around the Falklands.
“They are quite entitled to discuss fisheries......their economy.....etc with another country.........NOT BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY”
Correct, but the Falkland Islands do not interfere with overall British foreign policy, they deal with foreign policy relating TO. THE. FALKLAND. ISLANDS, whereas this was formerly managed (badly) by UK's Foreign Office.
“Take your head out of that peat bog”
Well, I'd like to but there's a nice piece of moss I'm examining, and I've stuck the Landy in the bog, deliberately so I can figure a way to get out of it, which I always manage to do using a variety of interesting driving techniques, planks, bumperjack and a few methods of my own devising. Also just up from where I'm stuck there's a small area where there are some lovely Vanilla Daisys that smell soooooo nice.
Oh and there's lots of pigvine here too.
Oh, and I'm not cheating as I've set the windscreen wipers to leave just a tiny gap on the windscreen through all the peat splattered all over the Landy, because having both of the windscreen panels totally clear is cheating in my view.
I will get my head out of the bog later, but now it is intensely interesting.
