It actually would be poor regardless how the politicians were.
Why?
My Mexican friends are a mixed group and have different ideas.Do your Mexican friends believe they are Hispanic, Indians, or just Mexicans?

Mexico has depended upon their people working in the USA for decades; without the money from narcos and illegal workers in the USA, Mexico would go hungry.
Obrador has as much say in where Mexico goes as the cartels let him. For that reason alone, don't expect Mexizuela anytime soon. If he wasn't with the cartels, he never would have lived to see election day.
"You Americans were smart; you killed off the indians. We Mexicans bred with them instead.While engaging in horrendous treatment of the natives, even for European colonialists. https://history.mcc.edu/wordpress/history/2014/03/18/spanish-treatment-of-the-natives/
To what extent is Mexico poor because it is Catholic?
The last I saw, Lopez Obrador had 49%, PRI and PAN guys both around 25%.
My Mexican friends are a mixed group and have different ideas.
Those who 1. grew up very poor then became teachers love AMLO. I know several of these.
Those who 2. voted PRI but thought the PRI party is too corrupt and they hate PAN voted for AMLO. They also said that AMLO was like Mexico's Trump.
Those who 3. studied business, worked in business, live among successful businesspeople are for PAN and are afraid of AMLO. They are deeply afraid of Mexico becoming like Venezuela.
No Mexican person I know understands the fundamental problems in Mexico; they think because the politicians are corrupt the country is poor. It actually would be poor regardless how the politicians were.
