Argentina Legislative Elections, November 14

[H. Ross Peron]

Given how bad the last 15-20 years for the UCR, what sort of path forward do figures in the party see? Are there any who want to break with Cambio?

What is Roberto Lavagna's ideology exactly given his coalition draws together both Socialists and certain other non-Peronist leftists as well as Dissident Peronists?

[H. Ross Peron]

This time he's trying to revive the old desarrollismo (developmentalism)ideology, trying to convine elements of market liberalism and interventionism to foment a quick industrialization process, with a pinch of hard on crime talk, and hating both kirchnerismo and Cambiemos at the same time

Bit of a derailment, but I've always found this Argentine political tradition (Frondizi, Rogelio Frigelio, MID etc.) fascinating and a springboard for interesting alternate history scenarios (what if Frondizi hadn't been removed from office etc.). I wonder if they point to East Asian Tiger economies such as South Korea and Taiwan as a model for Argentina.

Also mildly surprised Stolbizer aligned herself with JxC since she strikes me as quite progressive across the board.

[H. Ross Peron]

So a centre-left party returns to power after being out of office for four years only to run into inflation and Covid-19 that leaves them badly hammered in the midterm elections. Sounds familiar...
