	Politics of Ecuador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politics of Ecuador takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President of Ecuador is both head of state and head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
		Although Ecuador's political elite is highly factionalized along regional, ideological, and personal lines, a strong desire for consensus on major issues often leads to compromise.
		The president and vice president are elected on the same ticket by popular vote for four-year term (no reelection); Lucio Gutiérrez was dramatically removed by an act of Congress on 20 April 2005; election last held 20 October 2002; runoff election held 24 November 2002 (next to be held 2006)

	Spectrezine Ecuador's left president
		Ecuador could become the next member of the new left movement that is sweeping across South America if the local indigenous communities are allowed to help fill the country's new political vacuum.
		Gutiérrez was supposed to be Ecuador's version of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, but his populist platform quickly evaporated after he discarded all plans to bring about change for Ecuadorians by turning to the tactics favoured by neoliberal 'reformers'.
		If newly installed Alfredo Palacio is able to mend Ecuador's constitution in order to respond adequately to the constellation of political forces to be found in the country today, including dissenting indigenous communities, he would be looked upon as a hero.

		The bill is opposed by Wall Street, Ecuadorâs Central Bank, Ecuadorean opposition parties and the International Monetary Fund, which all claim that it will drive investors away and, if it causes a default on debt repayment, may end the dollarisation process and destroy the economy.
		Rumours abound in Ecuador that Gutierrezâ brother Gilmar of the Patriotic Society Party (PSP), the right-wing Social Christian Party (PSC) and others are deeply involved in oil deals, which might be threatened by Palacioâs policies, and are therefore engineering his overthrow.
