The coalition is a model that has no place in a presidential regime such as in Mexico. It fits in parliamentary models, but Mexico has a presidential regime.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Of course, running a coalition government in a country like India is a difficult task. More so when Congress leads the coalition, since most of the political parties were anti-Congress. To have a coalition, to run a coalition government, you require a lot of adjustments, a lot of flexibility.
It's impossible always to be with the majority in coalition government, especially when it's a very complicated coalition.
And under our system, much like you see in the U.K., of course, a party working with another party can form a coalition and govern the country.
To get elected in Mexico today, you have to compete like any democracy, and you don't do that by being manipulated.
In the Mexico we want, there is no room for corruption, for cover-ups, and least of all for impunity.
One of the things the United States does well is building coalitions. What the U.S. knows is that if you don't have a coalition with you, you will have a coalition against you. I don't want to see China and Russia on the side of Iran more strongly than they are.
Mexico has proven by now that it's a strong electoral democracy. Now we have to build a democracy that produces better results; if not, then you get a democracy of disenchantment.
I want to initiate a bilateral agenda that helps Mexico and the U.S. together compete with the world better, especially with the economies of Asia and the Pacific.
Any coalition has its troubles, as every married man knows.
The job of nation building, the job of nation leadership in a difficult, complex coalition has worked.
