What do you think is in store for DR since the PLD won all but 1 seat in the senate?

Nothing will change because we have no servant leadership in our government anymore. It seems the only reason an individual wants to become an elected official in our government, is so that they can take care of themselves and their friends.

nice to see you posting again, yumnuk. you are always sorely missed when you go off on hiatus. yes, there is no servant leadership in the DR. politics is just a vehicle for self aggrandisement. that is why maybe a good 50% of the entire population is on a ballot for mayor, senator, diputado, regidor, dogcatcher, and shoeshine boy. nothing will ever change, and things are worse now that we have a virtual one party state.

Dread no cheap shots about shoe shine boys please

Dread, thank you very much for your encouraging and kind words.

It's unfortunate most don't realize that we need to change ourselves with a complete overhaul of our moral / social consciousness. corruption is now sewed in the fabric of our society.

It is said the seeds of downfall are planted at the moment of your greatest victory. Well it seems the PLD as an institution has now achieved something very close to the highest level of success imaginable in politics. Hopefully they have a vision to do something positive with it because shortly the negative effects of dominance (blinding arrogance, institutional decay) are guaranteed to kick in.

Manhattanite, is that something like ¨absolute power corrupts absolutely¨?

What's in store for DR? Hmm let's see.... 1) Continuation of the construction for the 2 and 3rd line of the metro. 2) More intoxication of school kids. 3) mORE drugs, corruption, and less education. 3)To Sell the remaining parts of the island to the highest bidder. and finally 4) More Delincuencia!. I wish i can say that it well get better but after reading about the addition of another crook in congress (el Chino) that's giving us a sign of what to come. Yo te digo que se jodio la vaina!
