Looks like the right-wing list (VxCh) will fail to win 1/3rd of the seats (52 I think?) needed to block any changes. The left-wing lists (AD and LdP) have done well enough to give the left a decent presence at the convention. Independents (left-wing to liberal mostly) will have a good chunk of seats as well, so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. 17 seats of the 155 at the convention will be reserved for indigenous representatives, and the Green list will send some delegates as well I believe.

    I saw this result just now on Twitter and knew I wanted to hear your thoughts on this, glad to hear you seem... positive? about this.

      Really positive :bloomer:.

      The right wing massively underperform on the constitution representatives and the left will have more representatives than the center (18% vs 16%)

      Also so many lefties won on the Mayor elections, actually right now a member of the Communist Party is set to win the district of Santiago, which is maybe the most important district in the capital

        So cool. Neoliberalism was born in Chile, and (inshallah) neoliberalism will die in Chile - (quote stolen from some signs I saw during the protests).
