Why bother if I am not there...

Hi, recently the presidential elections in Mexico took place. Right, who gives a peanut when it comes to Mexico either for football or elections. Well, for football I understand, you see, they played quite bad, shameless sad game they had. However there was some spark that made me recover from my frustration. In their last match, the Mexicans played very well, to a great level showing that they wanted to remain in the competition. Still they lost, but even then I didn't feel, like the English, that it was the end of the world, the end of humanity as such and that only barbarians will descend upon us. I actually felt that the Mexicans gave a good game.

Now, about the elections. Why to give a damn if I don't live over there? Why would anyone reading this would care? There are no reasons for anyone to care about Mexican politics, unless they intend to migrate from deep south america towards gringolandia or Canada. It would only matter to those who believe in some sort of fair trade, organic freelance farming, managing to keep with a simple way of life, enjoying freely of the natural scenarios, along with other of the positive things about that country. Anyway, what i wanted to communicate is that for once in a lifetime of elections, the results are way to tight between the two main candidates. The difference between them is of only and only one per cent. However that one per cent favours the candidate that I do not support, who surely will become the fucking president. What is surprising about this elections is not only the result, but that some ballots are being counted, from yesterday onwards. Would that really change anything? Me and the rest of the Mexicans will see.
