> Politics and economics are too skewed to the right in Brazil.

This is the most absurd out of touch with reality statement I've read this week.

Brazil has 30+ parties almost all with "social" or "socialist" in their name. It's 50 shades of red down here.

It is a matter of personal opinion, after all. Anyway, I took the trouble to enumerate the ten largest parties in the brazilian congress and got their political position from Wikipedia (so as not to corrupt it with my own ideas):

PT - Centre-left; PMDB - Centre; PSDB - Centre (implemented neoliberal agenda in the 1990s); PP - Centre-right/Right; PSD - Centre-right; PR - Centre; PSB - Centre-left/Left; PTB - Centre; DEM - Centre-right (this I find hard to believe); PRB - Centre-right.

Please give me some minutes to edit wikipedia skip you can get it right :-)

The "right" or "centre-right" would get votes from democrats with a big smile...
