Brazil

this is an interesting article about a "game changer" in Brazilian politics. Marina Silva, a former senator has made a very unexpected move to join the Socialist Party in Brazil (PSB) which experts say is a huge leap being that the Worker's Party and the Social Democratic Party before that have dominated Brazilian politics for over the last 20 years. This is a big jump forward as it has given hope to the Socialist Party and to other parties in the future. Time will only tell if they use this new opportunity wisely or if the squander it.

  1. Why (without reading the article) is this a game changer? Had the impression that all parties claimed to be leftist even if they weren't.
