And UpCh got the Tarapacá seat, there won't be more changes. REP 22, UpCh 17, ChS 11 and one Indigenous representative.
No 2/3 majority then.
The threshold to approve articles is 3/5ths this time, so the right doesn't really need to reach 2/3rds. The left is still without effective veto power under those numbers.
The Left wanted to change the constitution.
The voters didn't.
The Left insisted.
The voters voted No.
The Left still insisted.
The voters voted for the Right to get rid of the Left.
The Right now gets to write the new constitution, against the Left which insisted on changing it against the will of the people.
Lesson, never anger the population by trying to impose things they don't want.
Slightly skipping over the part where Chileans voted 78% in favour of amending the constitution, then voted overwhelmingly for left-wing parties to draft that new constitution.
Yeah it's more that there was buyer's remorse especially after said left wing parties drafted a very left wing constitution. Still not entirely sure why things swung so hard the other way. Regardless, seems likely whatever constitution proposed by the right probably doesn't pass and we just stay with the current and I think the process will end from then on. Which is a win for the right as I understand since they broadly like the Pinochet constitution, right?
