Abstention won Chile's Sunday election, but it's also a vote: rejecting the political system
Chileans went to the polls Sunday and chose to send Michelle Bachelet and Evelyn Matthei to a runoff election with 46.7% and 25% of the vote respectively, but abstention far outstripped them both — less than half the number of voters on the electoral roll cast a vote. Read full article

Still, to come second with a platform 'Free higher education for everybody' is some commitment.
And what if everybody actually did claim their free higher education? - destroyed economy; national bankrupcy; rock bottom educational standards (yup, have seen it happen elsewhere).

I do sometimes despair why the people of SA act in such a rediculous way. They can't ALL be stupid, can they? Or are they all so frightened of private business that they think the owners earn huge profits for nothing?
Chrissy, remember: Whenever you want to call people on their stupidity, make sure not to sound stupid yourself. I know that when it comes to you this is almost like asking the fire to be wet. But. Do. Try. For example - it's “rIdiculous”, not “rediculous”. On a thread you call South Americans stupid, it's inexcusable to allow yourself to be corrected by one of them in your own language.

I think you meant POINT as in finger, not PINT as in liquid measure.
But, being you, I may be mistaken. Ha, ha, ha.
I know you are desperate to “put one over on me” as we say, but surely you can come up with a reasoned argument at some time in the future!

If it is the same person using the tag Forgetit86, he used to be capable of good, sound argument, especially when it came to economics.
