Vallejo's victory and those of independent candidates Giorgio Jackson and Gabriel Boric and fellow communist Karol Cariola, former comrade-in-arms in the student movement, who also gained seats in Chile's lower house on Sunday is significant for presidential front-runner Michelle Bachelet's bid to have her Nueva Mayoria coalition gain a stronger foothold in both houses of Congress.

    #1,5 Cristinita is much more beautiful than Camilla; give her time though and Camilla will I expect be a great beauty, and a great President =)

    #4 Still is =) In fact her beauty has deepened since then =)

    #7 Depends on your politics I suppose! Bet you had a crush on Maggie?

    9)Yes, but I have certain limits.. I tried to deflect from politics but I can imagine the face I put up to her when she said to me that she admired Fidel Castro and recommended me to read “the open veins of Latin America” by Galeano.
    Too honest some times to follow the rules :-(

    8) Gloria De Piero is fit

    @1 Klingon

    Yeah, I guess political skills are of no importance whatsoever.

    On fact if CFK looked like this I daresay she would've been handed the Falklands years ago.

    #10 I prefer Caroline Flint, even though she's on the opposite side of the labour movement to me! And Dianne Abbot, possibly the next mayor of London (though I'm backing Galloway) is quite nice =) On the Tory right I actually quite rate Nadine Dorries! Btw I get not liking Fidel (though I like him!) but what's wrong with Galeano?!

    Galeano is the most rubbish abstract Latam neo-communist thinking.
