Article Abstract:

The Mexican ruling party government is not in a position to continue without making considerable changes within its own institutional structure. As the sub-party system gains strength in light of recent economic and political disasters, the party will feel more pressure to act. They could either crack down violently on pro-democracy protestors, or they could agree to move towards a true democracy. Unfortunately, a replacement for the current regime has not yet been formed or given much serious thought.
