the latest poll has Chavez's party wining by 60%. That does not surprise me, here we are talking about some changes in the constitution that the media of some countries avoid to talk (how convenient for the system) and only write about superficial stuff about who told who what, nobody is talking about Venezuelans having the chance of a 36 working hour week.. ..God!
for example: one of the changes will be the 6 hour work day (article 90), people are going to earn the same and work less, gay rights are also in the big picture..no employer can discriminate or fire an employee because of sexual orientation or in the case of transexuals because of sex change or appereance. Free education will include also University, guaranteed by the constitution, the only country in the hemisphere with a recall referendum, ..Venezuela's constitution is going to become the most progressive and advanced in the region.
