Though a contested election between Bongbong Marcos and President Arroyo would be *interesting*, that is not what I want to discuss. WI Ferdinand Marcos had gone the GMA route, of setting up a federal constitution under a unicameral Parliament? He would then recreate Putin-Medvedev, as GMA probably will do in the next 2-3 years. No term limits, unlimited legislative and executive power. What I find interesting about him was that the "New Society" was in essence a recalibration of the old 1935 system which he affected to despise. Most prolifically crony capitalism. I had him do this in Eastern Entrance, though I'm toying with him causing a base crisis- if only to see the reaction of the incoming Administration. Or renewing the lease for 50 years, which means they'd still be there today...
