Argentina about to elect 127/257 deputies and 24/72 senators.
Will president Macri finally get a majority in congress to fully fulfill his agenda, or will he get btfo and weaker?
Will kirchnerists remain a viable force, or will they get btfo once and for all and remain only in the history books?
Will oldschool peronists regain their former glory, or will they remain a footnote in Argentina's politics?
Can Cambiemos hold, or will these different forces go their separate ways?
This and more, today, in our /ag/ thread
Cambiemos will win big time. This whole Maldonado thing is gonna backfire on the Kirchnerists.

Dunno anything about the people, they're just the leaders of their congressional campaigns, but the parties that matter are cambiemos, FpV and PJ.
Argentina has a weird system were the same party can have more than one faction that campaign in opposition to each other, have separate primaries, etc, so FPV is FPV-PJ because technically they're members of PJ too.
PJ is the Partido Justicialista, or Justicialist Party, the heir of Peronism, and are a big tent clusterfuck who always has the same populist rethoric but has no clear policy and really wants power.
FpV or Frente para la Victoria, or Front for Victory, is the leftist peronists, as populist and full of shit as the PJ, but more retarded and aligned with Chavez, Lula, etc. They ruled the country with the Kirchner power couple until Macri defeated them last election.
Cambiemos is a coalition of parties that organized to oppose the Kirchners and defeat them, and it's main members are PRO, (propuesta republicana) Republican Proposal, a center-right (for argie standards) liberal-conservative party, kind of cucked but more economically conservative and conservative in general, the party of managers and shit, and UCR, Unión Cívica Radical or Radical Civic Union (UCR), they were big shots in the past (ruled from 1916 to 1930 for ex) but got cucked by the army and peron and peronists and became less and less relevant every year; UCR are members of the socialist international and are radical cucks past their time, defending "social liberalism" (aka welfare liberalism", social democracy and larping about muh democracy).
If Cambiemos will hold or if they'll break apart someday is still in question.
PRO is by far the younger party of these and has a "I'm a good manager" spin to it

Since Argentina's political system is very slow to renew it's chamber of deputies and senate (1/3 of the senate and 1/2 the chamber every 2 years), Macri won the presidency but not a majority in congress (especially not the senate, pic related), which he might get now.
(keep in mind cambiemos is yellow in the bottom, but in the top yellow is PRO and red UCR)
