It's So Peaceful in the Country

The country is Chile.  There's an election. The candidates respect one another (and their constitution that Augusto Pinochet bequeathed to them);

Until this election cycle, the coalition had bypassed the primary system altogether, with party officials choosing a nominee behind closed doors.

All seemingly popular, since even the Socialists who were elected president, Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet, didn't change them.

As the song has it, you really ought to try it.
