inverted hunger strike

I'm always a bit late on reading the Economist, so this might not be news to you.
But
It appears that aside from using the delightful word "inquorate" (a negative adjectival manipulation of "quorum"), it points out that Evo Morales went on a hunger strike to get what he wants. Kicker one is that he happens to be the president.

Kicker two is that he didn't actually get his way, but got to eat again because the problem could be fixed in time.
