Dubious statement in Economy section. edit
In the economy section this quote appears:
"In recent history, Bolivia has consistently led Latin America in measures of economic growth, fiscal stability and foreign reserves"
I think this may be out of context from the source with says, "Unlike any time in recent history, Bolivia has consistently led Latin America in measures of economic growth, fiscal stability and foreign reserves. Plenty has flowed into coffers of gas companies as well." The context of this quote is the short term boom from gas, rather than a long term economic success. Indeed, it specifically says that this growth is "Unlike recent history".
In fact, Bolivia still ranks close to the bottom in most indices of the size or success of the economy, when compared with its neigbbours. This sentence doesn't give that impression. Zeimusu | Talk page 13:38, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

can Bolivia now be classified as Dominant-party or not? edit
the MAS-IPSP party of Bolivia has been the ruling party of Bolivia ever since the mid 2000's, and it has a large control over the politics sector of the country. is this enough to be considered dominant-party or not? if so, then i will add that to the infobox of the country.

- Not sufficient in this format, which would be WP:SYNTH. The question would be whether sufficient reliable sources according to their due weight describe it as such. JArthur1984 (talk) 23:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- I'd note that even if the country could have been reasonably regarded as a dominant party state, it may no longer fall into that category. I've seen a couple of sources describing the MAS as "no longer" hegemonic, even if its remains the most powerful party (Examples: 1, 2, 3). The party currently seem to be heading towards a split by the next election. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 03:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
