Some bad results for Hugo Chavez in the Venezuelan local elections



The Independent reports that the opposition to Hugo Chavez's PSUV has won the governorship of Caracas. This suggests that the fall in the price of oil and, perhaps, disillusionment and apathy among some government supporters has meant the PSUV has declined in popularity since its high-water mark.

The PSUV still looks on course to win 17 of the 23 states in Venezuela. This is better than governments in Britain normally get in local elections!
