Then there is Mexico, which will hold only its fourth democratic election in its history in a context of rampant organized crime, appalling violence, and rising skepticism about President Felipe Calderón’s war on drugs. With three contending parties, a terrible electoral law, no run-off, and condiderable frustration with 12 years of center-right, often ineffective governments, the outcome is highly uncertain.
再说说墨西哥。在有组织犯罪猖獗、暴力活动令人恐惧，对费利佩•卡尔德龙总统反毒品之战日益怀疑的情况下，墨西哥将举行有史以来的第四次民主选举。三个竞选的政党、选举法一塌糊涂、没有第二轮选举、对12年的中右翼政府执政失望透顶、政府常常效率低，因而结果相当不确定。
