So, Marina Silva is falling HARD. The latest poll:

 

26.09_pesquisadatafolha_v2.jpg

 

Interesting polls.

This election is lame honestly : A discredited Dilma with a pitiful economic performance, A mysterious Marina who lacks experience, Aecio with an uneven economic performance as a governor...It really looks like a French election in terms of lameness :ph34r:

 

Oh and by the way I was surprised to learn Brazil is not really a rising economy...25 years ago Brazil accounted for 3.6% of the world GDP, 2.82% in 2008, 2.79% in 2013 and given its very weak economy this year it will probably fall to 2.7% this year. Its GDP growth was constantly under the global average (apart from 2010) and now it's really underperforming. The only solace for Brazil is the fact Argentina and Venezuela are falling even harder ^^"

Oh, but believe me, Brazil is far better now than it was 25 years ago. Brazil's GDP grew alot during the dictatorship, but it didn't seemed like it for anyone who wasn't rich. The GDP grew, like, 9% a year, but the number of people starving and underpaid workers was growing.

 

Do you know that sensation you have when you don't have lunch on time or when you spend several hours without eating for some reason? Now imagine you having to sleep with that or see your family going to sleep with that. The Workers Party made it their mission to erradicate that, and they are succeding. Dilma is not nearly as popular as Lula is (89% approval isn't for anyone), but she's still the best option for people who remember how it was before. Lula was the first president to really acknowledge the poorest in our country and Dilma did the same, that's why she's winning the election and that's why Marina is in second place. 

 

I've never been through that, but I know people who have. What they told me isn't nearly as sad as you can guess.

You're pretty funny Wally, you clearly were opposed to Dilma and as soon as an anti-gay guy supported Marina you decided to support Dilma.

I'm fine with gay marriage but it's a side issue because it's about a small minority while economic matters are about everyone : 10-15% vs 100%, the choice is quite clear.

 

I don't care about who's winning that election and I don't hate Dilma but if Brazilians elect someone despite her/his poor economic record then the future of this country could be bleak because that sends the wrong message : voters don't care about results, they just care about electoral strategies and politic side-issues. I know it because the same thing happened here.

Brazil could be better off than before, but it evolves and improves at a slower pace than the rest of the world as a whole, and for a developing country it's quite worrying.

I just read this article on bbc.com about brazilian elections. I would like to have a green president ;)

http://m.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-29399395

 

Well, here we got a green minister, Cécile Duflot, and she completely destroyed the French real estate which was one of the last dynamic sectors in France...As a result they had to fire her and reverse everything she had done.

A green president would be a nightmare, I don't know about Spain but here they're just a bunch of communists painted in green instead of red, it's the last thing we need z_z

You are right about that! Socialists did a horrible job here also. I was talking about a person who really cares about the planet, not just about the money

Never said I'm on her side now. My candidate died. He was the best governor that Pernambuco has ever seen, according to my friends who live there. 

 

Between the 3 candidates running now, I just hate Aécio and don't know Marina. My opinion might change on her this week because of the debates.

 

P.S.: Though I do love Lula.

That's what I'm afraid of with Marina. She is an enviromentalist. She wants to leave the Socialist Party next year and create the Sustainability Net if she wins.
