Reply #7: I highly doubt it....

The situation here is pretty damn grim: he has a stranglehold on much of the media, and those who he can't control are maligned as just wanting to score political points, and are therefore ignored by his followers.

This is a cult of personality at its worst. His electorate follows him blindly and uncritically, and I doubt this story in the end will make enough of a dent to give him any real trouble. Add to that a "left-wing" (they're so moderate that the term barely applies) party that is completely ineffective and without clear message and I think that we're in for a long four years (until the next elections)...
