From January 26 to February 15, 2009, we made the following question to the visitors of our Spanish website Morochos.org:
Which of the following Venezuelan opposition political parties do you identify yourself better with?
We gave five options and each received the following percentage of votes:
1) Accion Democratica, 15%
2) COPEI, 7%
3) Primero Justicia, 21%
4) Un Nuevo Tiempo, 25%
5) None of these, 29%
Observations:
The results correspond well with the votes obtained by political parties in the last regional elections in 2008. With the exception of AD, that although it appears here in the third place, it was the second opposition political party in getting more votes in last November's elections.
We may recall that in the November 2008 elections, UNT, AD, COPEI, PJ, PV and PODEMOS, in that order, were the opposition political parties that received more votes.

I think that the defeat in the elections of mayors and governors was the voracity of some candidates of opposition to reach the power, happening through stop that but the important thing was the conciliation like high-priority point to defeat the forces of the chavismo, affecting positively the intention of vote of which does not create in the political parties that you register in the survey with 30%, which is a very important number. This caused the attack against the institutions and the violation of the constitutional principles by part of president Chávez. I think that this political error produced a very high cost and a delay in the advanced thing by the forces of the opposition.
ReplyDeleteThe opposition parties must solve the problems of the consensus, otherwise they would be giving an ample advantage to the party of the government which would increase the percentage different in favour of president Chavez
