Tomorrow's (June 5) election day in Peru, so if you live in Peru, go out there and vote! It's your right and it's the future of your country at stake. The main candidates are Keiko Fujimori (Force 2011) and Ollanta Humala (Peruvian Nationalist Party). Here's some info on the candidates and what they support/oppose.

Keiko Fujimori
Fujimori supports making Peru a safer place to live and improving the quality of law enforcement within the country. She also supports boosting tourism, building roads, ports, and airports within the country. Additionally, she supports creating more jobs and increasing the quality of the education system.

Ollanta Humala
Humala supports starting over entirely and creating a new government, which he plans to call the "Second Republic of Peru". He seeks to end corruption and improving the level of education. He supports busting monopolies and the creation of a socialist health care system.

I hear that Peru is a shithole. I don't doubt that there have been candidates like this before that made the country like that. Not like the situation in Colombia, but still.

Both of these candidates propose fantastically great things, so we'd need to look deeper than just two small paragraphs on their campaign promises.

That said, if their government really is in a hole right now, they probably should redesign everything, but something tells me that the older voters wouldn't agree.

PS: On the topic of Peru, Peruvian boys are so cuteeee ;D

That's what I get from the summaries listed. I don't know nearly enough about the state of Peru to have an opinion on which approach is best...

Just learned from a Peruvian friend that Humala won. His opposition was the daughter of this man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciUYN340mAE
