Starting the great VW Camper van debate a vote for change you can believe in vote @ http://www.latinamerica-conquistadors.blogspot.com/
Well can you believe it… they say it comes in 3’s don’t they, but as luck may have it there are not 1, not 2, but 3 significant votes occurring this week. I obviously refer to the vote for the perceived most important person on the planet (USA if nobody mentioned it); Number 2, the Nicaraguan elections where you are urged to vote for none of the above and of course the countdown to the great VW campervan

..................................................................................debate .....................................................vote now!.
Closest to our hearts and ears right now are the Nicaraguan elections. This is due to the revolutionary cries, fiestas and of course the 1,000+ bangs caused by fire crackers which have been promoting the elections all this week. Similarities with other elections spring immediately to mind. Still never having witnessed the kind of top of mind awareness grabbing marketing techniques that quite literarily grip your mind from day break right through to night fall, then I have become transfixed with the political race. Here’s an example…
06:30 music for the revolution repeated for between 3 – 4 hours
….On the hour ..explosions
…………On the half hour ..explosions
……………..Quarter past the hour ..explosions
Quarter to the hour…… HUGE EXPLOSIONS to remind you to VOTE!
15:00 revolutionary music played for between 3- 4 hrs
Finally let’s not forget the vehicle precession around town… This essentially consists of 10’s of vehicles bikes and trucks… Each truck consists of 5-10 massive speakers… blasting out more tunes with a whirlwind of supports dancing away to the tunes with colours and flags waving everywhere….
This technique is pretty much repeated for every political party including the banned ones (vote for none of the above). I therefore conclude from watching in avid awe throughout this week, that voters must flip flop to various political parties from day to day to ensure they always receive an invite to the biggest fiesta… I know I would.
Finally what can international politics learn from all this…
1) The UK needs to buck its ideas up with more fiestas at election time
2) The more explosives your party has the better chance of victory; and,
3) Don’t forget to vote for change you can believe in VW Camper van
