Portugal's politics and elections

What do you mean by land "explored?"

It means land owned by someone who then hires or works on the land. It's a term we use in Portugal "terra explorada".

Simply, it's the average size of a farm?

This is a bad idea.

Why? The alternative was a deal with BE only, which would strain relationships both on the left and with PSD.

This outcome was expected. In fact, that round of meetings with all leftwing parties that Costa held seem, IMO, quite ridiculous and a bit degrading. All had an air of theatre. PS would find it almost impossible to accommodate some of BE's demands like the revision of workers laws, minimum wage increases and spending increases, as Mário Centeno would block almost, if not all, of BE's main policy flags.

Why not just remove Mario Centeno?
