The need for practicality in the opposition (II): lists of senators, representatives and councilors


By Javier Lassalle

In the previous post I expressed the need for practicality in the agreement for the presidential and gubernatorial positions, justified by the fact that the NRA remains at levels close to 50% for those positions.

The elections for senators, representatives and departmental councilors also require some concrete practicality by the opposition coalition. Here the reasons are twofold: 1) the D’hondt system (used to allocate seats) punishes division, or seen in another way, rewards the most voted lists and; 2) the unblocking will make the ANR increase its voters to these lists.
