re: #122 ProGunLiberal

So essentially, PR is at the mercy of these two groups? And the Blank votes (the de-facto “Third Option”) was wildly unpopular.

I guarantee that, in 2016, we will be right back here. PPD will overstep like the PNP and like there history of screwing up voting (They’ve done the blank ballot schtick before).

The PPD is advocating for an untenable situation for Puerto Rico. Not fully in control of itself, and not getting many perks that a state would get that would be very helpful. Not to mention that the UN is breathing down our necks on this.

Though the PNP would be well served in adding a Unicameralism plank. Nebraska already does it.

Yep: those are Puerto Rico’s main parties. And there’s a third one (PIP, pro-independence), but they don’t count. (This election year participated 3 new parties, which generated a lot of enthusiasm. I really hope they can pull it together next election.)

The largest problem with the PPD in regards of the status is that it’s untenable inwards: they have both a pro-eventually-statehood and a pro-eventually-independence wings, which makes the status a very complicated matter that the leadership try to sweep under the rug to try to get some work done.

I don’t think the PPD would overstep that much (at least, compared to the current administration). But they tend to be wussies.

The UN has been breathing on the US neck for a very long time. With Cuba at the spearhead. And no, this isn’t just a tit-for-tat of Cuba against the US. PR and Cuba have a long history assisting each other.

The funny thing about the Unicameralism special election: the PNP was instrumental in getting that special election, because they held both Senate and House of Representatives. In other words, they were in favor of Unicameralism before they were against it.
