Venezuelan Elections.

[scotttswan]

So apparently the military are forcing polling places to stay open even though there's no one there to vote whilst busloads of people are brought from god knows where to vote.
The polls have been very bad for Maduro.
[background=rgb(198, 218, 238)]When asked "Who do you want to vote for on the December 6 parliamentary election?", respondents answered:[/background]

• Opposition: 43%
• PSUV: 27.8%
• Independent: 11.3%

[background=rgb(198, 218, 238)]When asked "If the election were held tomorrow, who would you vote for?", respondents answered:[/background]

• Opposition: 46.4%
• PSUV: 26.8%
• Independent: 9.3%

[background=rgb(198, 218, 238)]When asked "Independently of who you want to vote for, who do you think will win?", respondents answered:[/background]

• Opposition: 42.5%
• PSUV: 31.3%
• Independent: 6.5%

[background=rgb(198, 218, 238)]The same poll found that 73.9% of respondents said they were "absolutely sure" they would go vote on December 4, while 14% said that they would "probably" go vote. [/background]

[background=rgb(198, 218, 238)]The same poll found that 62.3% of respondents agree with this statement: "The government is not democratic and is becoming a dictatorship". [/background]

There's been a lot of crazy things like MINUNIDAD being taken over by Chavistas/Maduro and turned into a fake opposition party.
They're even running a candidate against the MUDUNIDAD leader Ismael Garcia called Ismael Garcia, who is a car park attendant.

Photoshopping the opposition leader onto MINUNIDAD posters.

Running fake adverts in papers
Changing The colours to confuse people.

and even outright swapping the parties about on the voting forms.

So can Maduro fake the results and win again?
Will Brazil Continue to support Maduro with Macri putting pressure on them?

MAduro will win...???

Maduro's not running, his mandate lasts until 2019. This is for the National Assembly which the opposition claiming they have won a majority of 100 of the 165 seats for the dietary time in 16 years.

Big day in Venezuela. The opposition can free López under an amnesty law and complicate the government, but Maduro and his PSUV are still in power for a few years yet.

Its like macri vs congress but in reverse.

If we think its going to be messy here, in venezuela its significantly more complicated.

Populism finally defeated, the Domino pieces start falling, Argentina, Venezuela, next Brasil ?, Nicaragua, and possibly Ecuador ?.

Thanks to :

• The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for keeping Oil flowing and maintaining the Price below $40/bbl.....! making Venezuela/Ecuador Economies Tumble. The Saudis want to bring the USA Shale Producers to its knees but in the cross fire other smaller players got shot.
• The USA producers of Shale Oil/Gas making the USA self sufficient generating an international Oil Glut.

It's a blessing that these election results haven't turned into a violent reaction as many feared and that Maduro actually recognised the results.

MAduro supporters accept defeat,

I wouldn't prise Saudis, they are the worst bunch on the planet. And of course they are not doing that against but with USA.

Otherwise I agree, that is time for certain "socialists" to go and this might help. However, I don't see bright future for Venezuela any time soon.

I don't praise the Saudis for the support of Daesh or Human Rights issues,

Saudis Oil Policies aimed at putting USA Shale producers out of business (Below $60 dollars/bbl USA shale producers are not profitable??) as a collateral effect destroyed the Venezuelan Economy.

You seem to Believe that the Saudis Follow US instructions shooting themselves on the foot...?? Maybe you are correct???

Dumb policies over years destroyed the Venezuelan economy, the oil price just made it visible...
