To my friends (non-Venezuelans) who do not understand the results of the elections ... ¨ A vote is not equal to a vote in Venezuela ¨ ... where everything is coldly calculated ...!!!
Venezuela Elections
An electoral system designed to measure the Bolivarian leader
saves nine States account for 67% of the population but choose 53% of the seats
P. ORDAZ (Special Envoy) - Caracas - 28/09/2010
Results 101 votes Vote A vote is not equal to a vote in Venezuela. There are votes and votes. Votes succulent, which collects Hugo Chávez in neighborhoods that are conducive, and squalid votes, precisely as the president called the opposition members. If you think this is an invention of the press colonialist and defined this newspaper Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro, "note the following fact: the opposition succeeded in Caracas for 47.8% of the vote compared to 47.7% who managed the United Socialist Party of Venezuela. However, the seven deputies in game Chavez took six and the Bureau of only one Democratic Unity. What how is that possible?
For cooking, thanks to the absolute power that the National Assembly gave him to Hugo Chavez, an electoral regulations tailored just for your needs. Chavismo amended the law of suffrage and political participation in December 2009. Of such reform was the least populated regions of the country now have more representation in Parliament and each of the Members who are elected there cost less votes than in larger states.
A clear example is Amazon, a poor state and depopulated, where an MP is elected with 20,000 votes. However, in the State Zulia, an oil state where opposition traditionally cattle, it takes about 400,000 votes to win a seat or seat. Besides the change of proportionality, the law of Chávez also changed the design of electoral districts to favor Chavez in number of deputies in those places where, at least until now, were stronger.
There are many very striking examples of the suffrage law passed in 2009 is more than a suit, a bulletproof vest to the power of Chávez. Such is the case of Merida and Miranda. In Merida, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela takes four of the six seats in play, although the list Bureau of Democratic Unity has 50.04% of the votes and 48.7% of Chávez. And Miranda, more of the same: the president commander-so-faithful call takes five of the 10 deputies, although only managed 41.4% of the vote against 57% who got the opposition.
More examples? There are. In Carabobo, the list of opposition achieves 53.66% and 43.04% Chávez has, but despite winning by 10 points, the distribution of electoral boundaries makes the 10 seats, the opposition takes Chavez only three and six, although data are still lacking a constituency.
There is another interesting fact: the nine states in the country where it concentrates 67% of the voting population of the country (Anzoategui, Aragua, Bolivar, Carabobo, Lara, Miranda, Táchira, Zulia and the Capital District, five of them ruled by the opposition) elected 53% seats (87 seats).
electoral system Chavez assured a victory. Despite this, the Bolivarian leader may itself have to be addressed by reforming the way the opposition. The skinny on Sunday showed that they have muscles of steel. Unequal distribution
- Caracas. The Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) achieved 47.7% of the votes in this district. Opposition Bureau of Democratic Unity gets a tenth, but Chavez's party takes six of the seven seats.
- Mérida. With 50.4% of the vote, the opposition alliance is made with two seats. The PSUV is still taking up to four 48.7% of the vote.
- Miranda. Both coalitions won five seats: Chávez group with 41.4% of the vote, and opposition to 57%.

Questions uncomfortable or intolerant leaders?
"... In his particular style, the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution does not leave the room angry, but that waged against the journalist, asks for the name reminds you that your question is not his but a script the opposition media who hires (remote control by the empire, of course). Then usually refers to the owners of the means, by name. With a well-known style, ends up lecturing the reporter on how (he thinks) should be the journalism.
A history is that of Adriana Nunez, whose questions about the communal power, increased salary and FAB Cubans on the presidential anger unleashed May 2, 2010. But not the last chapter of this taut and aggressive relationship between Chavez and the press.
Today September 27, 2010, a day after the parliamentary elections, Andreina Flores Venezuelan journalist of Radio France and the RCN Circuit, made the president a question that people in media headlines around the world: Why, if the PSUV and the MUD have virtually the same number of popular votes, the former has a marked difference of deputies in favor?
