What has made it possible for the PRI party to stay strong for so long in Mexico?

Question

The PRI has dominated mexican politics for years, what has made it possible for them to stay in power so long even with the victories of Fox and Calderon (PAN)

Answer 1

Of course, dishonesty does play an important role in the fact that PRI was Mexico's dominating party for most of the 20th century. We lived times when power was "handed over" from one ruler to the next, when we had no option but to recognize PRI as the "state party". But, it's not so simple, there are also other factors involved. For instance, the fact that ever since the party was founded it involved the major leaders and groups (like CTM-workers, CNC-farmers, and CNOP-people organizations) in it gave it a lot of strength, and it still does.
