He's clearly centre-right. Of course he's not Trump or Bolsonaro, but he's not very different from Macron or the PP in Spain. The economic freedom thing is an structural condition of the country, he can't do a 180° in 4 years. 

 

I think he's pretty neutral to gay rights, being right-wing is not equal to being conservative anyway.

 

 

And the "communist" label for Alberto is just ridiculous man, be serious :lol:

I dont see Macron like right and the PP now they dont know what they are.

 

They dont make any serious thing to make this country a little "liberalism", with the kirchnerism Argentina was more or less in the same position.

 

Larreta is not :p, i put two examples of libertarianism and conservative, he is not neither of both.

 

Alberto doesnt exist for me: he is nor more than a puppet of Cristina,The Campora and all of them........in fact, barely remember his existance.

 

for your side, congratulations, you choose one of the two ways to continue decreasing the PBI Per capita year after year.

What? I voted for Lavagna man :lol:

 

I would vote the Ks if it came down to ballotage though.

 

And I think you are too simplistic in that analysis: in this country the president has all the power. It will be the decision of mr. Fernández what he wants to do with it.

 Ok, is a bad candidate for me but at least is not the FF, in a ballotage between both, i wont vote for any of them, i dont see a substantial diference betwwen them, specially in the economical aspect.

 

May be you are rigth, i see Alberto like a very "gray" politician, without any power, or talent in fact at least today, he wont have any own congressman, they are mostly "Camporas".

Just for the record, I did not mean, nor attempt to start a fight amongst Argentinan users. I was just an American student wanting information :p

On this day, 20 years ago, Vladimir Putin became the worlds most powerful and famous leader. Aren't you getting bored Vladimir? :d

He's not anymore though, so I guess he can try and get that back if he's bored :p

Prime minister. He never was president

Countries that have both a prime minister and a president are too confusing, to be fair :p

    • grab the final men’s quota so arguably the top two favourites on each side qualified 
    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
