The problem is that a null vote does nothing in Mexico, it's the same as not voting. It should do something, it should mean "Hey, we don't like the people that are running to become President, do something government." Not everyone is pure and honest, but in these elections, like I've said before, we're stuck picking the least worst.
The hate towards EPN is mostly because of what he represents, he represents the PRI. The PRI is known as the most corrupted political party in Mexico. Of course some are desperate into voting for AMLO, they don't want the PRI to return and the PAN has been exposed as being allied to the PRI in multiple instances. I mean, just a couple of days ago ex-President Vicente Fox (PAN) encouraged people to vote for the leader in (skewed by the media) polls, which in most cases is EPN. Unless he meant AMLO, which many believe he's the true leader.
Quote:"So it is incongruous, contradictory and absurd that he is promoting a vote for a party that represents everything he stood against in 2000," Madero said.
What I don't understand is why are they so hellbent on making AMLO look bad through other means? Just look at this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interact...ez-obrador
I mean, it's one thing to show negative stuff about him in news and defame him in spots. But seriously, devising a plan so that throughout the network (television, newspapers, radio, etc) to make him look like a bad guy, is taking it way, way, way too far. What are they afraid of if he becomes President? Why are big name companies defending EPN so much? What else are they hiding?
Honestly, this pomegranate is incredibly messed up. But I'd rather take my chances with a supposed crazy old man than repeating the same old story.
