Chilean Presidential Election 2013 - Doomsday is here!

[Peeperkorn]

Since the moment Bachellet decided to be a candidate, the election turned to be irrelevant.

She made a lot of mistakes (like Transantiago or the destruction of Santiago's public transport system) but at the end her mandate was quite pleasant.

Concerning Allende or Pinochet, Chileans don't give a shInk about it, and the majority of them consider both characters more grey than black and white.

PS: Matthei can only be popular in the most reactionary parts of society.

PS2: Funny to see Ominami in the fourth place.

PS3: If Bachellet doesn't win in the first round, well, all candidates with the exception of Matthei are leftists so...

I think there are many things in the political and institutional system in Chile that might be improved.

My only critique to the Chilean political system it's its apparent elitism. Everyone seems to come from good families and good universities, and the majority of politicians is (very) catholic or pretend it to be.

Congressmen are also on the right of the people in many social liberal issues, especially youngsters.
