At the beginning of 2011, the ambition and callousness of politicians in Mexico seems to be killing the political parties as we have known in recent years. The seriousness of the situation is that it is likely that this fact deeply damaged our democracy and our business model.
in a democratic society when politicians start to disregard the basic rules of the ideology of the parties and, for the sake of achieving power, they jump from one party to another without scruples, breaking the unwritten rules of ideology politics are destroying the balance democratic system and social trust in parties as representative institutions of civil society.
This causes the society is polarized, which lose focus on the structural problems of Mexico, that the solutions offered to the highest bidder, that oligopolies are consolidated, the growing corruption, organized crime infiltrating electoral processes and politics and parties are the ideological and ethical act of politicians. In this way, is ceasing to be party discipline and unity that gave way to politics in Mexico.
late last year and in the first two processes 2011, the only constant we've seen is that politicians are using the games as mere franchise to reach the power, have become identified as stamps for politicians and we are returning to the world of caves, of a conspiring political groups in against the others.
The institutional won by the efforts of many years and true Mexican politicians and ideologues, is being cast aside by the urgency of being in power in political office and they desire to access public resources for personal or group .
As examples: in the last election we see political change a game franchise to get the nomination and halfway declines in favor of another party. Today, we no longer know what the politicians identity and what ideology, are ambitious men dressed as lamb and presumed concerned about social problems. Today, the supply of political ideology seems a league so elastic that goes right to the left, passing through all the options with a speed that scares even the most liberal city.
Society, before this picture, but begins to play his own game to find the gaps in the policy for failing to meet their obligations and keeping resentment and dissatisfaction with impunity, injustice, inequality and abuse of politicians. In this game, the government realizes the world's cases where these problems start to increase social demands in a way that can explode at any time, see the case of Egypt.
Today, we do not know if politicians are blind to, or, to the increasing escalation of the dispute for power, are playing with fire to cause increased crime or creating scenarios for people to get tired and you complain to the politicians in power to take them down, you understand a quiet revolution to look bad or the ruling party's enemies. We began to see that political groups use any resource to look bad to their opponents, the worst is that they do stop through much needed reforms for the country or try to propose further reforms contrary to the opposition group. This does not get us anywhere but to the deterioration of the economy.
The trouble is that everyone is losing, the PRI PRI ex a Senate showdown against the PRI in the Chamber of Deputies, the PRD trying to join with his worst enemy to keep the record and under the pretext of taking the PRI power, and a NAP is generating power from the power (a subject that was so criticized Fox in the past), and thanks to their past alliances have come to the curious role of being in the Presidency of the Republic, but be falling to third in the voting preferences, for now, gain nothing and only succeeds with his worst enemy.
Grave situation and we need to start work, at home, in a new institutional design and create a new political class.
