Venezuelans are voting in an election which could lead to a seismic shift after 25 years of socialist party rule and a devastating economic crisis.

President Nicolas Maduro is running for a third term. His main opponent is Edmundo Gonzalez - a former diplomat backed by a coalition of opposition parties after their chosen candidate was barred from running. But many fear the vote won't be fair.

    Cathy Newman of Channel 4 News deserves strong condemnation for her poor questioning on Jan 16, 2018. Cathy: we want balanced, civil dialogue and not your bias and provocative statements. Shame on you, Cathy.

    Why is it bad when millions of Venezuelans leave Venezuela, but good when millions of non Europeans flood into Europe every year?

    I was lucky enough to visit Venezuela when I was a kid and before things had started going seriously wrong. Such a beautiful country and everyone was incredibly friendly. It makes me sad to see what has happened since Chavez lost the plot and the country fell apart.
