Nutter wins Bolivia Election

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I dislike his socialist protectionist tendencies.  However, I applaud his stance that Bolivia shouldn't be made to suffer or give up it traditional non-harmful cultural practices because of the idiotic war on drugs.

You don't see protecting cultural practices as in itself a protectionist tendency?

Only if they were to ban the import of coca leaves to chew on from lower cost growers in other countries.

Unless Chuquisaqua  tilts towards the right as more votes come in, It looks like Morales would have to be very radical very quickly to trigger a civil war.  Hopefully, he'll end up being more like Lula and less like Hugo.

Why would that matter? You mean territorial contiguity of the West? But provinces are not internaly homogenous, and the narrow tongue of Chuquisaqua would be naturally occupied by the westerners.

Because I think that a cautious conservative revolt will require the rebels to be able to control Sucre, the constitutional capital of Bolivia, which is also the capital of Chuqisaqua.  That control would be easier to establish if they could point to a conservative preference in the department.
