President Hugo Chavez has presented his plans for changes to Venezuela's constitution, including an end to the presidential term limits.
Current rules mean Mr Chavez is unable to seek re-election and will have to step down when his term ends in 2012.
His plans, to be put to a national referendum, also increase presidential control over municipalities and states.
Mr Chavez has rejected criticism of the proposals, saying they will bring "new horizons for the new era".
Some of the main changes include:
- Removing term limits for the presidency, and extending the term of office from six years to seven
- Bringing in a maximum six-hour working day
- Increasing presidential control over the central bank
- Strengthening state economic powers, allowing the government to control assets of private companies before a court grants an expropriation order.
As long predicted by outsider observers who aren't blind idiots, representative democracy that respects and defends the rights of minorities is over in Venezuela. In its place with find a ruler of a mob destined to create a one party state by sheer Will to Power.
You know, just like Hitler.
Of course Sean Penn is alright with that as Chavez is his kinda Hitler.
