What to expect for 2018

Many Seniors and Juniors, are utterly confused on who we should vote for in the upcoming elections. It is because of this that I decided to only focus on the main nominees. We will look in depth at their campaigns and proposals, which are intricate and vague to say the least...

Margarita Zavala left the PAN to seek an independent candidature. As a calm and poised woman, but also a very “political” one, the ex-First Lady wishes to change the merciless corruption that exists in our country. Her promises are, well, promising. She addresses our decaying economy, our safety issues, our poverty problems, and hopefully she will deliver.

Ricardo Anaya is probably the smartest but cockiest candidate of them all. Anaya is a Calderón 2.0, does not approve of same-sex marriage, believes in the power of education, and will continue the drug war started back in 2007.

On the other side we see José Antonio Meade. Lawyer, economist, businessman, and the most qualified of all. The only problem? He will probably be running for the PRI and therefore abolishes all possibilities from getting my vote.

For Jaime “El Bronco” Rodríguez I have no words; he shouldn't be running for president after his lousy work in Nuevo Leon.

Finally Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Will the third time be the charm? Doubts fill Mexicans, especially the high-class, about Mexico becoming the next Venezuela if AMLO becomes president. Although he is a self-proclaimed nationalist who favors leftist ideals, it is highly unlikely we will ever come close to the brink of collapse.

We can all agree that what lies ahead of us is, well, daunting. Yes, we have the right to insist and demand for a better Mexico but we ourselves must be true to these principles as well. Underage drinking, copying homework, bribing police officers, having fake ID’s, all examples of illegal and corrupt acts: our acts. So if we have succumbed into these vicious habits, what can we expect of our politicians?
