Whatever his personal beliefs, if Peña Nieto wins, he will be the PRI’s first-ever democratically elected president – the first to become head of state because he won more votes at the polls, not because his predecessor hand-picked him. Whether or not this matters is difficult to say, but morally, politically, and personally, accountability counts; in its absence, anything goes.
无论他个人信仰什么，只要佩纳·聂托能获胜，他就将成为革命制度党首位民主选举的总统——也是该党首位并非由前任指定，而是因为得票更多而当选的国家元首。这一点是否具有重大意义还很难说，但无论是道义上，政治上还是个人方面，选举问责制度都是有用的；没有了这个制度一切都无从谈起，而墨西哥目前也已经具备了这一制度。
