11. Does anyone still believe
That Hugo Chavez will willingly let the country he wants to rename *stop* being Socialist or Bolivarian if the majority of the populace want it to, or that he's willing to let people who want to stop it being so campaign for it to do so on equal terms to himself?

He's not a dictator - he has no need to be - but he is a deeply unsavoury autocrat, and it's becoming increasingly clear with everything he does that he doesn't give a damn about free and fair elections and the like.
