Furthermore, since 1999, Venezuela's government has been unanimously led by the PSUV (Unified Venezuelan Socialist Party), the party has celebrated total control of all main branches of the Venezuelan government and has had the majority of the seats in senate ever since coming into power. Despite such widespread popularity throughout the 2000's, Venezuela's government has failed to properly execute its socialist economic policies in the country, causing a major upset for them in the Dec 10 elections, when the MUD won 112 of 167 seats in parliament.

  1. This is interesting, I've been hearing a lot about this on the news. I think it is great that there is finally a change in Venezuela and things might take a turn after being the same for so long. And this might also encourage other Latin American countries to do the same.
