Does he have a chance? Probably. Chavez was a force unto himself, and none of his followers have that charisma. But that may be moot: A military force imposition could change things, but seems unlikely.

But if enough people are used to having the Party give them the things they want, they will continue to give the Party the votes it wants. We saw that here in the USA last November.

But for our interests, all that may also be moot. Aren't we far enough along the ICSID road so that only the court decision matters? And might that be in months?? What are your thoughts, gang?
