Speaking of politics...the Mexican elections

Coming from Mexico and just having the presidential elections, I found it pretty interesting to see how Niccolo Machiavelli was so clear of governments and human behavior.
Nothing could depict the mexican government better than Machiavelli's "The Prince."
In it, he advices the wanna-be rulers to "Understand the importance of seeming to act morally even when committing immoral acts. " and that "Succesful rulers must be masters of deception. Often they will have to act immorally in order to survive; and they must constantly appear honest and upright, even while practicing 'how not6 to be good'." He also adviced rulers not to keep promises that are no longer in their best interest; to disguise their intentions; to inspire fear, rather than love, and if possible, to cultivate the appearance of generosity while always practicing self-interest.
Unbelievable, that's what's gone on and on for almost a century of Mexico's modern history.
Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa cleaverly called Mexico "The Perfect Dictatorship," because the government's ability to held power since 1910, within, some say only 200 families, that rotate themselves in the government office, while 90% of the population lives in poverty.
So, yes, unfortunately the 2006 Mexican Presidential Election, turned out to be -again, a mockery. Don't be fool when you hear that "Mexico Avanza"
