Here you can see the new Venezuelan political map (counting only the governors of each state, not the mayors, I will try to work on a map based on those results as soon as I got them). It is quite obvious that Chavez' party won and won big at most of the states, leaving us only a very few blue areas. But the ones who are busy celebrating that our country is still totally revolutionary, must look at those tiny blue areas: the states with most population, most industries and therefore with more strategic importance that the other except for the case of Bolívar or Anzoátegui that still belong to them; are now in opposition hands.
They are bubbles, crowded bubbles, trapped and alone in a world that still belong to the revolution, surrounded by revolutionary states, exposed to the constant threats of the government but still offering not only resistance but maybe proper alternative political projects to the country.
Things doesn't look as good as I wanted, and it makes me sad to see Venezuelans of those red states voting like sheeps for the Commander and Chief desires. It makes me sad to see that a huge part of Venezuela, probably the most part, think that the Revolution is actually good for us. I don't care if people like the Revolution or not, my point is that the forces are not even close of being balanced and the Revolution has way too much power in part because a lot of people wanted that way, and still do.
But things can get better, with time. The mayors and governors who are going to be at the offices that once belong to the Revolution have a lot of work to do, in most parts the Revolution has proof to be nothing but unneficient in its way to rule. In Caracas, from having only three mayors out of six, we have five now so I trust this brings some changes to my city that has become dangerous, dirty and depressive under the Revolution command. Lets just wait and see if the life inside one of those crowded bubbles proof to make some difference.
