PRD to decide candidate and question of PAN alliance by the urns

A significant step forward: The PRD's national political commission, where all factions are represented, agreed to subject the question of gubernatorial candidate and party alliances to the ballot box.

Two questions will be asked:
1) "Would you agree to or not a broad alliance of various political parties to achieve alternation in government of the state?" and 2) "Who would be the citizen to lead it?"

Three comments:
1) The PRD must find an external organization to carry out this ballot, to avoid accusations of fraud.
2) The first question should be more specific, adding "including PAN," to avoid any confusion: Would  a YES vote mean support for any political parties? AMLO must not be allowed to coopt this question.
3) Related to 2): If YES on 1 and Alejandro Encinas on 2, will AMLO respect the outcome authorizing an alliance with PAN? Given his track record, I fear he will not.
