Squall Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Tomorrow's (June 5) election day in Peru, so if you live in Peru, go out there and vote! It's your right and it's the future of your country at stake. The main candidates are Keiko Fujimori (Force 2011) and Ollanta Humala (Peruvian Nationalist Party). Here's some info on the candidates and what they support/oppose. Keiko Fujimori Fujimori supports making Peru a safer place to live and improving the quality of law enforcement within the country. She also supports boosting tourism, building roads, ports, and airports within the country. Additionally, she supports creating more jobs and increasing the quality of the education system. Ollanta Humala Humala supports starting over entirely and creating a new government, which he plans to call the "Second Republic of Peru". He seeks to end corruption and improving the level of education. He supports busting monopolies and the creation of a socialist health care system.

Humodour Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Without knowing anything about the country, parties, or political system, I would say that at this stage of the country's development I'd support the more capitalist party to promote basic economic growth (although at some stage universal health care needs to be set up like it has been in every developed country except America). So probably Keiko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could sit here and prove you wrong all day, but it's midnight, I worked all day, and I don't want to derail this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few countries with socialist health care systems that do quite well, so maybe you could lay off the condescension a bit. Rather than just taking a broad brush and painting an entire idea bad, why don't you try and explain why a socialist health care system will not work in Peru? For example, I can explain why a socialist health care system would not do well in the US. As Krezack already mentioned, I doubt many of us know enough about Peru to make a very educated political decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I voted 'other', since the first two names sounded a bit foreign. Also, lol'd at the socialist healthcare thing. Am expecting a tirade of ill-informed lunacy with eager eyes and restless fingers. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Force 2011 sounds like some DARPA project. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I think its funny that the only people who hate socialised health care are people in countries that don't have it. In my opinion health care should be provided by the people who want you to stay alive and pay more taxes rather than the people who want to have to pay out as little as possible so their profits are higher. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 This whole thread seems odd given that the OP has a grand total of 0 non-WOT posts, and it has to do with a political system and situation so far removed from the consciousness of most on the boards that a couple of people (me included) probably thought "Wait, Peru is a democractic state?" Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Its moot. Humala won. Surprisingly it was like front page news on the Globe and Mail website. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Its moot. Humala won. Surprisingly it was like front page news on the Globe and Mail website. Slow news day. Also mostly concur with your comments re: socialised health care. Both systems have (big) problems, so in this case I'll err on the side that has better coverage. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I doubt it's a real persona. Seems more than likely an alt or troll account like LoF, obykven, Freedom Fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humodour Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Uhg, this Humala guy is fan of Chavez and pretty close to him. Here's to hoping we don't see another failed state like Venezuela under Chavez. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-07/h...-s-markets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
