Venezuela votes: Will more than 25 years of socialist party rule end?

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.

Ask the millions that were forced to leave their homes because of US sanctions what they think of American exceptionalism. ?

What a very one sided report, concentrating only on those opposed to a socialist government and not anyone who supports it. Clearly there are those on both sides, and this should have covered that. Disappointing for Channel 4.
