Q161: Will Venezuela hold parliamentary elections in 2015?
Yes: 75%
(The elections actually need to be held for a substantial number of parliamentary seats to count)
Venezuela is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections in 2015 (see Wikipedia article here). There has been some speculation that the election may be delayed beyond the end of 2015. The government has insisted that the election will be held on schedule (see article here). The opposition has called for the election date to be formally set (see article here). The government is planning on holding primaries for its seats in late June. Polls suggest the government is losing.
I think that elections probably will be held. The opposition's concern seems to be more that elections will be poorly timed than that they won't happen at all. Still, the lack of a definite date and the widespread protests make a delay more likely. It is also possible (although unlikely) that there could be a coup before elections can be held.
