Is it actually the opposition? It says that it has a majority of members - and current president Nestor Kirchner also seems to be a member. Secretlondon 22:02, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It doesn't have a majority in the chamber of deputies. I think it might be the lead party in the governing coalition, though. Oh - but Kirchner can't be from this party because he beat Menem who definitely is. Morwen 18:55, Mar 30, 2004 (UTC)

Both Kirchner and Menem are from the same party - one the left wing and one the right. I've checked this with several sources and it does seem to be true. Secretlondon 18:59, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Ok. Its a wiki, you know what to do. ;) My source for the election results is here [1] by the way.

It does have a majority (in both chambers, actually), and both Kirchner and Menem, though arch-enemies, are from the same party. This is already hard to understand to locals, so I figure it's utterly incomprehensible to foreigners. But then again, that's precisely the essence of peronism, a party supported, alternatively and sometimes even simultaneously (!), by sectors of the far right and the far left. (Paradoxically enough, the other major party, the Radical Party, is basically a centrist --moderate-- one.) Sir Paul 03:41, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ideology

The "ideology" parameter in the infobox has been changed back and forth between "center left" and "populism". I would personally change it to "shameless pragmatism" (and not only in this party's infobox) but we have to settle on something. I'm undecided. There's a common thread of corporativism along its history. If we have to evaluate the current ideology of the main line of the party, it's clearly center-leftist. Nobody would call Menem other than neoliberal, or neoconservative in U.S. usage. So? —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 13:33, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
