The final nail in the coffin of democracy in Venezuela: Early (3 years) National Assembly elections.
?ssl=1
Yes, Godgiven Hair (Diosdado Cabello, #2 man in the PSUV) has decided that since the unconstitutional ANC/TSJ/CNE has pushed up the presidential elections by 6 months (and banned most opposition parties and candidates), now it would be an opportune time to re-elect a new "all Chavista" assembly! Because the current assembly (which the Chavistas already ignore) won't rubber stamp Maduro's vision of the Utopian Bolivarian Socialist state!
I don't know why they even bother... its not like anyone outside of the UI's even believe there is any sense of democracy in Venezuela any longer. Why not have an enthronement, make him emperor and get it over with?
