I believe your post #8 was on the mark.

I think Michelle Bachelet actually had a chance to restore the "good name" (if I can put it that way) of the Chilean Left, but she is slowly blowing it. I do not predict the survival of her coalition whenever the next round of national elections comes up.

Chilean Left, ... slowly blowing it.

Damned shame. A world-class country determined to undo its own rather spectacular success. A pity our country cannot benefit from their experience.

Our electorate is dumbed down to such abysmal ignorance of other countries that we cannot tell when our home-grown leftist charlatans offer to lead us down the same path to ruin.
