If you rely upon Simon Romero for your information, you are certain to lose. But, a query for a lawyer--- which of the 69 articles in the proposed referendum got the 'no' vote? The reduction of the workday? The extension of pensions to self-employed, informal sector, etc? Granted, items that require a constitutional change shouldn't be introduced this way. Identified any that have been? Haven't heard any one complaining that the removal of term limits for a president has been introduced. Because that question [which does require a constitutional referendum] hasn't been introduced. Yet.

Is Venezuela an examplar of socialist democracy?  Heads I win, tails you lose?
