Elections

Today are the Costa Rican elections. There are three candidates: Otton, Otto, y Laura. From what I've learned Laura would be considered more republican (partido liberacion nacional), Otto would be even more republican (movimiento libertario) and Otton would be Democrat(progresista). The topics they're fighting are much much different. Republicans are anti education, anti environment, for a capitalist market, and the president now is republican. They say that the republicans are corrupt because they bribe people to vote for them or they'll talk something away from a group of people and if they vote for them they'll get it back. Otto believes in globalization and human rights. Otton's main platform is fighting against corruption.

My Dad is the congressman of Puntarenas and he's running again for the partido integracion nacional http://www.alvaromorenodiputado.com/. His party has an alliance with the party of Otton.

Laura seems like she has the most support here but the polls are always bias. Last year they said that one person was leading by 20 percent and after the votes were in it was a tie and they person who won is the president right now. I don't think people here are very educated as far as politics goes, they just vote for the people who they like on tv and on posters. Kinda like in America.
