ECUADOR GETS PRO-CHAVEZ PREZ
“The long neoliberal night that has done us so much harm is over at last,” said Rafael Correa, Ecuador’s President-elect, after winning a crushing victory over his right-wing opponent Álvaro Noboa.
The full extent of Mr Correa’s triumph in Sunday’s run-off election will not be known until tomorrow, but will exceed the expectations of his most optimistic supporters. Fears that fraud would be used to thwart him have proved to be unfounded.
The neo-socialists are gain foothaolds all over SA.

Although he gets on well with Chavez, he's made it clear that he's not a Bolivarian. He was educated in economics in America.

True that, but he also holds a lot of the same populist views of Chavez.

Well, he would probably follow similar economic policies to CHavez, but not the same economic ones. He doesn't like Cuba, and says he will attack any FARC operating in Ecuador (whereas Chavez gives them guns).

He will use economics to try and improve the life of the people, at least at first, to show that he really cares. It will be a political tactic. He wil also tone down his opposition to FARC and seek a ceasefire. |

Sorry, I meant to right that he will use the same economic things but different political ones.
What evidence do you have that leads you to believe he will join the Bolivarians?

Just a gut feeling , after 20 yrs of watching politicians around the world I think he will try to garner as much support for his agenda and they will be agreeing with them at least in principle.
