		Mexico's ruling party early today scuttled a carefully crafted package of political reforms that were to be a hallmark of President Ernesto Zedillo's administration and move the country toward clean, uncontested elections.
		Political analysts said that the PRI lawmakers, who have often promised political reforms but rarely delivered them, watered down Zedillo's proposals because of the drubbing their party took in local elections in the states of Mexico, Hidalgo and Coahuila.
		Party access to the media during election campaigns is also tightly controlled in Mexico, and under the new PRI-backed rules, 70 percent of media time will be divided among the parties according to the number of votes that they have received in the past.

		Many believe that Mexico is a growing democracy, and that like other democratic systems, its maintenance does not depend on the personal qualities of the president, so much as on the effective functioning of the political institutions, a strong civil society, a growing economy, an independent media, etc.
