Mexican General Election, June 2, 2024

Eduardo Verástegui, the producer of Sound of Freedom, is collecting signs for his independient candidacy. If he succeeds, it would hurt 'Fuerza y Corazón por Mexico' (especially PAN voters).
If only AMLO supporters got some sense and strategically supported his inscription.

His inscription was denied as he couldn't get enought signs, but he will continue his campaing as mexicans can vote for write in candidates in their elections.
His campaing still doesn't have much sense. He campaing as an anti AMLO camdidate, but he avoids talking about Galvez like she and her alliance didn't exist. Maybe if he can the image of 'the candidate of social conservatism' he could get some support even from some MORENA voters, but a pro Trump candidate isn't appealing for those mestizo soc-con, econ-center/centerleft voters he would need to have posibilities to enter the runoff. He will still get some support, and that may hurt Galvez if she can get the election closer.

mexico dont have runoffs

I recently checked PVEM web page and not only they now have actual ecology stuff there, but also things like "Justice with gender perspective" and so on.

I know it isn't sincere but I'm surprised they even bother with the pivot to a "woke progressive party". I thought that everybody accepted the fact that they were a glorified corruption machine that would sell their grandma for a spot in a ruling coalition.

I think they are doing this because their ally MORENA pays lip service to this sort of stuff.  I am not sure for how long since the MORENA vote is trending more rural and more likely more socially conservative.  MORENA and now PVEM saying all this stuff is an attempt to retain some of the legacy MORENA urban vote.

Mexico's polarizarion is now MORENA vs PAN and the PAN will always need social conservatives to have any possibility to win. Meanwhile, MORENA needs to get the youth vote to turnout for them. The PRD will continue losing support, and they will have to get those voters.

and mc?

We should try that one term only thing

We should try that one term only thing

Fun fact, the Confederate constitution had the exact same "6 year term with no option to run for reelection" system that Mexico does now. The Confederacy didn't last six years to actually try it out, of course.

we should have adopted that
