Well it just goes to show that a lot of people can still demonstrate incredible stupidity. It’s not as if the economy, the state of the nation, security, press freedom etc has “improved” since Dec-07, which might explain the ‘increase’ in support. However, considering that Chavismo is the biggest employer in the land it is equally understandable that many of those “si” voters simply voted that way because they also need to survive; it’s not if the private sector would be able to absorb ex-Chavista employees as well it doesn’t really exist anymore. Regardless, the smelly stuff has yet to hit the fan… economy, oil price etc. Just watch how Chavez “deals’ with the dissenters, strikers etc that are coming his way! All in all a bad day for Venezuela!
