Mexican Elections 2017-18

Go Meade! Obrador will be a far-left disaster for Mexico!

I didn't know Obrador was an anarchist.

Actually he is the Antichrist



It happens that most people thinks that the state of Mexican affairs cannot continue and change is indispensable. With all his contradictions and the doubts he casts, AMLO represents change and a much desired catharsis. I'd say there are inconsistencies in his recipes against corruption and violence, two issues that reach catastrophic proportions in Mexico. However, the PRI and the PAN administrations have failed miserably and people will give him a chance. All hail AMLO, the next president of Mexico

That sounds so awfully similar to the situation in Venezuela in the 90´s that got Chávez elected. I know it's not the same, but damn if it doesn't ring a bell.

I really hope Maduro doesn't gain a new ally in AMLO. God knows us Venezuelans can't afford that.

Claudia Sheinbaum (born in 1962) will be in all likelihood the first woman to govern the City of Mexico. She describes herself as a "left-wing politician" who is very close to AMLO and likes to follow the parliamentary speeches of Podemos leaders in the Spanish Congress. She advocetes for cultural diversity, defence of native peoples, environmentalism and women's rights

Her rival Alejandra Barrales (PAN-PRD-MC) claims that the race is still open, despite exit polls say otherwise

So she's awful, then.

Anyone with a link to the results of the overseas vote by country? I can't seem so find it at the Prep page.
