Credit where it's due: Encinas will accept poll on alliance. Will AMLO?

Now it's on the record: In an interview with Joaquín López-Dóriga, Alejandro Encinas notably stated that he would respect the result of a party/alliance vote on whether to go in alliance with PAN or not in Mexico State.
This is quite notable, as it is the first time he has said so openly, but also as AMLO keep repeating at every time he can, acting as if he were the boss of the PRD and not someone who has betrayed the party on numerous occasions the past years, that absolutely no possibility exists of said alliance.

Encinas: "I believe in a democratic process we have to subject to the rules." Indeed.
Yet as events the past four years have demonstrated, this is a concept fully alien to Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO); his acceptance of vote processes, whether we are talking intra-party debates, decisions of PRD's legislative groups, or even general elections, are contingent upon one thing: Whether he won or not.  The possibility of a PRD-PAN alliance being accepted by AMLO, even if such an alliance would be backed in a vote by the party base, are therefore slim to zero.
