Bolivia's President ends 5-day hunger strike

From ABC ONLINE:

Bolivian President Evo Morales has ended a five-day hunger strike after lawmakers approved a controversial electoral law that allows him to run for a second term and seek a majority in Congress.
The law sets presidential and legislative elections for December 6, assigns a small number of congressional seats to poor, indigenous areas where Mr Morales is popular, and allows Bolivians living abroad to vote for the first time.
Mr Morales began his hunger strike last Thursday after opposition lawmakers blocked a vote on the bill.
He slept for five nights on a mattress on the floor of the presidential palace, surrounded by supporters and refusing to eat.
Both sides claimed victory in the stand-off, and state media reported that Mr Morales lost nearly four kilograms in weight.

God - I'm glad no Australian Politicians try anything like this!!!
What do you think?

I don't think anything because it's Bolivia and who gives a fuck. I can't even find that shit on a map, so quite clearly it doesn't exist.

Like Palestine.

I can't find Palestine on the map cos my map has shit smeared all over where the Middle East used to be.
I find it to be symbolic.

Also, this is why we should never trust indigenous people with anything. Even with relatively simple choices, like whether to eat or not.
