42. The political opposition is alive and well in Venezuela

which is why, for example, Chavez lost his referendum bid last year to revise the constitution. On the other hand, Chavez is overwhelmingly popular with 'the poor', of which Venezuela has a lot, and that is why he has been elected and re-elected in fair and open elections.

p.s. not a dictator, but you knew that.
