The actual party is National Regeneration Party, which in Spanish lead to the acronym Morena, which is a nick name for Indian woman. It's kind of lame if you ask me. He used to be PRD. Anyhow, this "experiment" may become the best eye opener for all Bernie supporters. No, it's not a good thing....

@IamNobody You are correct sir. He was in the PRD. He changes parties often & I can't keep up. The party currently that he ran as, is the party he founded. Thanks for the correction.

@Countrywoman don't lose sight of the important stuff here, which is his socialist ideas. When crap hits the fan, I will come back to everyone with an "I told you so"..... He is well known for radical ideas that will "help" poverty...we'll see how that is going to work. It's almost against Physics to spread wealth and succeed if no one is willing to earn anything. It does last until the last investor is bankrupt or has managed to flee with his resources. Unfortunately no one wants to see thouse things, and when they do is usually too late... Another chapter is coming for the whole world to watch and I would hope to learn but, will we?

@IamNobody Moderate socialist he is not. But 2nd world Mexico has problems that we do not. They are searching for solutions after only 100 + years after the revolution which really was their civil war.

@Countrywoman well, neither Zapata or Villa is not going to save the day when they run out of money.....

@IamNobody Capitalism runs out of sustainability
Socialism runs out of people to tax.
3rd option is what I do. Live autonomously. Yeah Right. I am dreaming again.

Yeah me too but.... Again, if the elected president proves me wrong then I will be happy to say it so

Well, here is the deal....you didn't like my comment about EU because in your eyes I am just a tourist (which I was not, I lived and worked in Belgium for three years, family, cat, dog...the whole deal). By the same token I am going out on a limb here and say you don't know much about Mexico. I was born there. I have seen and lived for years the drawbacks socialism can bring. This guy is dangerous and sadly, the whole country will pay the price when the system run out of money. He may sound good to you, he is not and when poverty starts to flourish everywhere because investors are pulling out then you won't have to worry about it. Of course I will love to eat my words if the new president proves me wrong......

@IamNobody

What are the drawbacks of socialism? Please tell me. Because the US is not democratic socialist and poverty is increasing. The drawbacks of capitalism if you will.

Just a question. Are you a libertarian?

@Ellatynemouth Let's compromise here, give it time, see what is going to happen. If we both are still here next summer then we can talk about the impact in Mexico, if any.

@IamNobody

Something I agree with you on.

I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA are crawling around Mexico trying to undermine things.

I hope so too for the own good of Mexico, sadly I believe this may become an eye opener for many Americans wishing on more socialism policies. Take note that all things considered, Mexico has been making a lot of progress keeping up with the economy by holding currency exchange steady for many years now. If that starts to change then it will be just one parameter to quantify and evaluate such change.
