Both the worst and the best case scenario are horrible.

appart from its very people.

Quote:
Voters in Bolivia's richest province, Santa Cruz, are reported to have supported proposals for greater autonomy in an unofficial referendum.

Exit polls for local TV stations suggest that more than 80% backed giving the region more control over its resources, and creating a police force.

The authorities in La Paz have declared the vote illegal, and say they will ignore the results.

Isolated outbreaks of violence marred the poll.

Many in Santa Cruz are critical of left-wing President Evo Morales.

Much of the voting was calm, but violence broke out in poorer areas as supporters of Mr Morales burnt ballot papers and ransacked polling stations.

One polling station was reported to have destroyed, while elsewhere opponents of the referendum threw stones and clashed with those wanting to vote.

At least 18 people were injured, officials said, and unconfirmed reports said one man had died as police fired tear gas into a crowd.
