asking voters to let him stand indefinitely for re-election and endorse a huge leap to a socialist state.
So do they mean one big, final election to rule for life? Or do they mean running as many times as he wants. Because in this respect, if it's running as many times as he wants that would be moving from president to prime minister, not dictator.
From what little I've heard of his proposed reforms though, many in his new socialized state would have been dictatorial .


I wonder why any leftwing commie supporters [don't] comment on this? Hummmmmm?????
I don't think these boards have many communist supporters Bong30. Now if you just mean any left-wingers, though "communist" is far too extreme a term; I'd respectfully ask that you not take every opportunity to flaunt your percieved supperiority of right over left. If you'd like to debate the content of the thread topic, that would be far more productive than these constant conedescending remarks toward our left-leaning members which always seem to end with "Hummmmmmmmmm?". There is more to politics than putting down left-wingers, is there not?
