    You forget Brazil did once vote for Bolsanaro? Who was interestingly supported by Neymar, Rivaldo etc

    I can see why they voted for something different. Quick look this morning and this is the state of the country:

    350 pesos to the dollar (was 35 in 2018)
    GDP annual growth rate -5%
    Unemployment at 6.2%
    Wage growth +13% in a year
    Inflation + 142% in a year.

    Think about some of the people posting on this thread talk about British politics and the need for change and then amplify it by those figures above..

    That's not to say he is the right change of course..

    Also I note the Guardian pressing the 'far-right' tab on their keyboard more than usual today but I'm not sure what specifically makes him such?

    Maybe MSN covered it I'm not sure, but massive unrest in Spain last week, all over large demonstrations, those who have their home's, nice gov. pensions further topped up state pensions are getting envious that common plebs would just want the same, you are now called far right, maybe the comfy are worried that they might have to cut back? I'm just waiting for the time in Wales when enough say, I'm fed up of the shit housing conditions, I'm fed up of the shit transport system, I'm fed up of the shit roads, I'm fed up of my bins not being emptied for 3 weeks, I'm fed up my area never gets cleaned up, I've no objection to rising rates, water etc. But for the services being offered I do object, I understand that this is UK wide and not just down here but I basically see what goes on in Cardiff and not Aberdeen, I have no faith in any party it's essentially a uni party serving one set of masters, I'm pleased to see shocks to the system as in Argentina but that isn't an endorsement of the incumbent I'm just pleased people are looking at the media which is 95% owned by a few trying to shape the narrative and are saying **** you and you bullshit. Just look at this thread, the 1st thing the Factory jumped on is the color of the Argentina people, he never thought that the non white argentinians may probably have suffered more under the previous regime and voted in mass for change, this is the divide playbook currently in play and has been for quite some time,
    Call them racist
    Call them far right
    Call them anti this
    Call them anti that
    Call them scum if they do not agree with me
    Just call them anything if they think outside our rules. It worked for a long time but times are changing.
    The majority of people are good people who just want to work, contribute to society when they can and take out when they need but have differing views along the way and the only time they express their views is at a ballot box but if your views are not the correct ones!!!!!!! The name calling and the pile on starts until the person is canceled.

    I've just lost my dinner break typing this bullshit on my phone and if I've made loads of spelling errors I don't give a **** Jon 😂👍

    Back for any replies on the train this evening 😎

    For as long as I can remember - they have always had a bit of a basket case economy.
    Him getting in - I bet the Guardian journos and their readers loved that. Will give them headlines for a month of storied to sell to their listeners.

    Much the same as the DailyMail doing stories on left Govts / politicians, triggers the retired colonels of Tunbridge Wells.

    They wanted a changed and they voted for one - seemingly because the current one didnt offer them much of a plan to change things around.

    Hi Heathblue

    I don't care about spelling errors. I haven't called Argentinian voters racist. I do think 'El Loco' is bad news and gave a link to a profile piece to inform the discussion.

    FWIW I think a lot of your views are also loco but realise that you don't believe all of them and enjoy a good wind up - though still not sure of the Q alt-right bollux. Some of your other views I agree with (not many - but some).

    Hope the train is OK this evening. I think that's everything.

    far right leader in charge in Argentina

    Tory government miles behind in the polls , staring down the barrel of an election defeat.

    we've been here before haven't we?
    expect some sabre rattling soon.

    Quoting the Guardian again, its a lite Tory rag which butched the Corbyn era and its policies and behaviours which you were so fond of , they say as you age you become more conservative in thought unless your barking mad like Corbyn , brother

    Add in Trump 's re- election from a cell ( cant wait for that one )

    Return of Boris to rescue the country

    Right-wing or far-right nationalist parties are the biggest party in Switzerland (Swiss People's Party) Italy (Brothers of Italy, Lega), Hungary (Fidesz) Poland (United Right), Finland (Finns Party) , Sweden (Swedish Democrats) ..

    Yep this is sure a swing ,all built around the loss of border controls ,crime ,demonstrations .

    Just got on and have a seat 😂 which is a bonus Q is a massive pysop imo but it tends to trigger many and I enjoy that, I do however keep an eye on the full on Q people and some are utterly bonkers IMO, the latest is that, you will know that Jimmy carters wife has died, the Q people are expecting a 2nd high profile death and all because of what they call dog comes with the latest coming from Dan Scavino and it's the deep state taking the focus from the J6 tape release. 🤣 If it happens Twitter will be awash with it. If not they will all go back to hiding until another dog Com from Scavino. Remember this is the QAnon take not mine
    TIMING IS EVERYTHING
    "Q"
    😎

    Dog comms!!!!! Phone autocorrect 😂

    Re: Don't Cry For Me Argentina

    what i found interesting about this result is

    voting is in person only with ID
    Ballots are hand counted
    results are done in a few hours

    No dominion machines involved !

    I think going back to basics with regards to elections should be done this way

    No sides can kick up a fuss then if you win or lose

    No middle of the night breakdowns, no boarding up of the voting buildings no water leaks, just simple mark the paper, drop it in the box in person, count the ballots, announce the winner when done, easy peazy. Not sure however you could get 80 million votes this way after spending the campaign in the basement

    I have no idea about Argentinian politics but according to this it's a soap opera of insanity
