wins at what ?
Brazil has a lot of parties, true fact. But in what does this helps the country to envolve ? absolutly nothing! atleast the way it's done in brazil.
We have parties that have barely the same name and ideas, but who are splitted because of personal interests on private power.
The increassing ammout of parties in Brazil only divides the political power it could achieve if it stay with only a few of them.
If we stick with only PT (the workers party), PSDB (the social party), PMDB (the conservative party) and, let's say..., PFL (the liberal party) we could do a lot better than having what ? 20 to 30 'different' parties
a lot of people have this wrong idea about brazil
they think we are all like Rio de Janeiro (the city), or that we all live in the Amazon Forest, but that is just plain wrong. Most of us don't live like Disney's Zé Carioca (or whatever the name he has in US) or among indians in the amazon basin.
if you look at the states of São Paulo (SP), Paraná (PR), Santa Catarina (SC) and Rio Grande do Sul (RS)(where the SL meeting took place), you will find people that live ~almost~ like in US or in Europe.
in RS you will meet the 'gauchos', a proud people, who resemble the argentinian Gaucho (cartoonized by Disney's Panchito), and in both RS and SC you will find cities that were founded and mantain the good old traditions of Germany, Italy, Poland and Açores (the islands in the atlantic, owned by Portugal)
so, calling this people 3rd Country is like calling them primitives, not well technology developed, even though we are as well developed as most of US great cities, or more develeoped than some European Countries.
we might have something to learn here and there, but at some stuffs, you (US citizens) are the one who could learn something
