"Celebrating Our Revolution With Reelection"

Today a friend of mine told me a chocking new... Calderon just delivered a political plan in which he proposes 10 main points, in which he includes the reelection of senators and members of the congress.
This is supposed to be grant more time to politics to deliver better and more effective long term plans; however, this will also give them a lot more of power and influence. This is supposed to be counterarrested by democratic election; in theory, if the nation has complains about a politician, he or she would just not be reelected and end of the problem, however, mexican democratic institutions has proved to have leacks, therefore we cannot be sure this would work.
The good pint of this plan is the reduction of the Deputy Chamber from 500 to 400, reducing coastes and maybe creating a more agile processes.

It is still ironic that this pro reelection plan is delivered on the aniversary of the revolution. Here is the link to a summary of the 10 points and the video of the plan deivery by Calderon.
