Umm . . . so what’s the debate? Is it whether we should have electoral reforms in the U.S.? Sure, I could name at least half a dozen proposed reforms we’ve already debated in GD, including some actually proposed in Congress. Or is it which country, the U.S. or Venezuela, is more democratic? Or whether Chavez’ government has or has not a real popular mandate? Or what?
Well I wasn’t interested in providing pre-packaged sides to choose in the debate. I am just seeing what people think of this article, that’s all. I figured it was the sort of thing that could very possibly easily become a debate. I personally tend to like Hugo Chavez, but my knowledge of him is rather limited, so I wanted to see what people had to say.
I think as people say what they think about the article, the discussion will form itself naturally.
