>Results are based on 1,000 face-to-face interviews with adults

Oh never mind. That's not even 1% of their total population. Now I remember why I ignored surveys that had to do with economics, lol.

You can't just ignore surveys that don't agree with you. Random people on the street are representative of the general population.

I don't see why street people would suddenly be richer in a new survey if the general population was not ACTUALLY richer.

I'm not ignoring it, I just find it a bit, I don't know, lacking. 1,000/12,500,000 juar seems a bit, I don't know, lacking? And believe me, it isn't that I don't agree with it. It's telling me what I already know.

>I don't see why street people would suddenly be richer in a new survey if the general population was not ACTUALLY richer.

I just don't trust the survey. If you could explain how 1,000 people out of 12,500,000 could be in anyway an accurate representation of the general feelings of the population, then please, do so.

Because if 50% of Zimbabweans are Party A and 50% are Party B, THEN IT MAKES SENSE THAT RANDOM ZIMBABWEANS PICKED OFF UP THE STREET WOULD ROUGHLY BE NO DIFFERENT at 50/50

I never said they were. It was an oversimplified example.

Anyway Moving right does not equal shift to capitalism, it could just be moving to the centre.

Argentina was seen as a ideal choice for the IMF in 2001, but then it went BUH-OH! and sank.

Still, the IMF did cause it, and that was my point.

Bringing the average Zimbabwean person to better off really isn't an achievement, they still live a pretty crap life.
