Its simple message: the whole political system stinks, so just draw one big cross on the ballot sheet on July 5, when the country has to choose the federal Senate and 500-seat lower House, six governors and hundreds of state and municipal offices. "Voting for the least bad candidate is like buying the least rotten fruit," says Jose Antonio Crespo, a well-known historian backing the movement...
