More on the election
For more on how the election day really was, you should go check out Jacqueline’s one-day travelogue Election Day in San José, Costa Rica. Jacqueline, a self-declared election nerd, even describes how our election works. Well worth read.
On a more personal note, Jorge has a great article called “…and they didn’t even get the votes“, analyzing how the Movimiento Libertario fared after they decided to be PUSC re-incarnated. Jorge gets his point across rationally, succintly and directly, much more than I think I could do.
My own personal take, in short, is: great. I hope they went ahead and spent money like they were really going to get 25% of the vote. In that case they’ve squandered 3 times as much as they are getting from the government, and got royally fucked.
How I love it when there’s an actual price to be paid for betraying your principles.
