Is the Mexican Government a Dictatorship or Democracy?

[HellOnEarth]

I want to get your views on this.

And why can't the country decide on a president? Why can't there be two presidents? That'd be so awesome!

 

[KingOfDreams]

Two presidents? That's retarted. Anyway, people vote for thier leaders in Mexico so it's a democracy. Is it a perfect democracy? Probably not. But then again, neither is the U.S.

Mexico thinks of itself as a REpublic. In class our prof reffered to Mexico as a Centralized Federation.

I hate the non-mexican idiots in this thread

Well, let me put it this way

We had our elections. Results came in TOO close

The losing party decided to legally challenge the elections, which is constitutionally correct and encouraged to do. Parties can challenge the results.

In result of this, they legally submited voting booths where the losing party thought or saw some irregularities, as they should've done

The Electoral Tribunal saw the challenge and decided. They were legally viewing each impugnation and declaring if it was or wasn't aproved

This process lasts a month or so.

The Tribunal decided that there were not enough evidence to agree with some impugnation. They counted the final voting count and in the end they gave the result. Now, as of Friday september the 8th of 2006, we have an elected president that was decided the monday of this week.

Now, on the streets, something else happened. Losing party started to cry fraud and wanting to have a "vote by vote" count, or a re-count. They cried that the Tribunal did not wanted to when in reality, if they wanted a TOTAL recount they would've impugnated EACH AND EVERY VOTING SECTOR, but they DID NOT.

That's what happened

Closing....

EDIT: We technically have two presidents now, you know? The Elected president that won the elections and Vicente Fox, the current president that will end his term in November the 30th

hmmm, yeah, this won't end well.

What is the purpose of Mexico other than to provide a southern buffer from invasion for the United States.

Have your silly elections.

We live in a Democracy. We have to elect who will be in charge of the invasion

oh, and before anyone starts to say crap about a Dictatorship in Mexico.. just don't...

 

[KingOfDreams]

Wasn't one party in control for 50 years or something though?

 

[Mr Sparkle]

oh, and before anyone starts to say crap about a Dictatorship in Mexico.. just don't...

but there is a dictator.....

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Wasn't one part in control for 50 years or something though?

70

 

[Corinthian™]

Wasn't one party in control for 50 years or something though?

And right now, that party is the third power in Mexico and they will practically be the ones in charge of the change

if they go with PAN(ruling party) they could get a lot of things done. If they go with the PRD(the second power) they would probably bother the ruling party a lot. Thing is, most of the crap of the PRI(70-year-old power) went to PRD, but a lot of the PRI people have lots in common with PAN. So it's hard to say. They are the swing vote in the congress, I guess

but there is a dictator.....

Everyone knows Mexico is a wasteland,i would call it a combination of a Dictatorship and a "democracy" some of the country is developed.But most is poor,half and half.

 

[Tangled Web]

Two Presidents? That's stupid. Atleast the people there are doing something about a controversial election. When it happened here we just kind of let Bush march in.

 

[Gonking]

oh, and before anyone starts to say crap about a Dictatorship in Mexico.. just don't...

nowadays there is not dictatorship in Mexico but when the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) governed, and they did it from 1929 until 2000, yes there was dictatorship because the elections were always arranged.
