[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

Situation going clearly out of hands here. Guys, I know, the situation is very bad and sad, but do not forget this is mainly a Sport (Olympics themed) Forum.

 

 

Will frozen some last pages posts to evaluate them later.

 

Thread closed provisionally for now.

Damn, there's disagreeing about stuff (even strongly and so on)....and then there's posting language that could actually get one into some legal problems.

 

Edit: huh, Slovak buddy closed the thread apparently while I was typing my post, and in that case apparently I could still post mine despite it being closed (which I hadn't seen yet)

Javier Milei is the new president of Argentina, the other candidate just admited defeat.

This is my "happyest political day" of my life, Argentina has a libertarian president after 100 years.

Lets see what happens.  People forget that a century ago Argentina was richer than Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece etc...I don't think using the US $ as currency is enough though - I'd go back to gold coins.    Roman ones.

Polls say slightly difference in favour of Milei. It's a closed call, many voters in the middle with no clear preference. I think the last few weeks were good for Milei because the crazy part of his side and proposals were a bit tuned down, and he got the support from Macri which gave him structure and a sense of "control" as in a kind of coalition. Still most people dislike him, but Massa as well.

We'll see what prevails, if the desire of change or the fear of what that change could be. I lean to Milei 55-45.

 

I won't vote neither, though 

I was right about the difference, should have bet on it 

 

The swing voters who voted Peronism/kirchnerism 4 years ago and Macri 8 years ago and Kirchner before that now opted for change over fear. Hope this guy can turn the economy up, the political and social side will be a mess no matter what.

Sadly is like you say, in 1930 started our decadence with the first military coups from the conservatives and after that came Peron with fascism and....here we are.

I dont agree with the dollarization, in fact its VERY dificult he can make it.

 

Argentina turns in a TOO LEFTIST country, now we are "back to basics" little by little.
