> President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada; Vice President Carlos Mesa

I thought Mesa was President now?

¿Ahora el presidente no es Sr. Mesa?

Yo Pense que el Presidente es el señor Evo Morales

[edit] Statement in "Executive Branch" paragraph

"Six months later, on December 18, 2005, the Socialist indigenous leader, Evo Morales, was elected president, to the general dismay of the United States government." - I do not think this phrase in bold is relevant to an overview article about the Politics of Bolivia, so I have removed it.

[edit] "Political pressure groups" heading

This heading is both POV and inaccurate. No organization refers to itself as a political pressure group. "Lobby group" would also be inappropriate, since they do more than lobby, and carry out activities of their own separate from any attempt to influence policy. I suppose you could call them NGOs, but this obscures their political and grassroots character. And social movements is more in line with how they refer to themselves.

This is also a somewhat uninformative section. Some kind of summary of the social movements and their role in politics/history is called for. It's also a bit bizarre to just append particular influential individuals names at the end of each entry. 134.153.182.238 (talk) 18:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
