Brazilian Municipal Elections 2012

One last question I have is why the clientelistic parties have so much support?

The clue is in the name.

There's this, besides voting in Brazil is heavily based on personality and people rather than partisan labels which are entirely meaningless. Besides, these "parties" shower goodies on people and that helps to maintain their standing.

Random question: is the incumbent PSB mayor of Belo Horizonte allied with the local centre-right or something?

I just created this neat graphic showing the 6 parties which elected the biggest number of top-83 Mayors, and where they were before the election. Interesting trends.



A full recap, with predictions for 2013 and 2014 soon, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.
