Election results
Change is in the air. Chile had it's second vote today for the president and PiƱera won (affectionately known as Pirana). So the government has changed from the left to the right, for the first time in 20 years (since Pinochet). Turns out that either all those people didn't go on holiday, or it didn't really matter. On a different note, I am astounded at the number of people that didn't vote. It is compulsory but only if you are on the role, therefore many people simply don't enroll. Strange, for a country where they had no choice for so long, that they don't embrace their right to choice now. I don't understand, but I guess that I am a voter.
