His party, which glorifies in the oxymoronic name 'the institutional party of revolution' (PRI) just about sums up the Mexican electorate: it's got to be racy (Revoluciòn!) but you never know with change (Institutional). The PRI ruled Mexico without interruption from 1929-2000 (institutional indeed) when they were voted out on charges of corruption.
Unfortunately the sorry lot which replaced them weren't much better and so institutional revolution is back with a..er..whimper.

THE LEFTIST 'losing party' has now called for a "re-count"! OMG!!! SUSPECTING, perhaps, the citizens who actually voted REALLY 'DO' desire ACTUAL 'CHANGE' of a real sort. ** The PRI in decades past was "the only stable" government Mexico enjoyed, while I lived only a few miles North in San Diego at that time! -30-
