[edit] Major update

This page is frightfully out of date, antedating the upheavals of December 2001. Unfortunately my knowledge and available time are unequal to the task. - Montréalais

I've done what I can. My POV is probably showing all over the place, so please check. The CIA Factbook is alright for numbers, but not NPOV at all when it comes to politics, BTW. --Pablo D. Flores 23:48, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Other data and summary

Why don't we just delete that whole section? It's full of outdated CIA info that has been covered elsewhere, and it's impossible to maintain. Just a suggestion (before I feel bold enough to remove it myself). --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 10:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I would leave some things, such as "International organization participation" and "Parties and leaders" (as "Current Main Parties and their leaders"). Somewere a reference to Ley Sáenz Peña, obligatoriety and the definition of voting universe should be placed. Mariano(t/c) 11:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
The parties and leaders stuff is in List of political parties in Argentina, though a summarized version could remain here. What I meant was taking out the CIA data as a separate section; the article is no longer based on that. Of course, redundant and outdated data should be removed completely. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 15:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Together with the CIA tag, shot'em! Mariano(t/c) 05:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Politics vs Government

Some thoughts... This article, although named politics, is largely about government, which redirects here. Perhaps it is time to split the two subjects:

  • Government needs much more detail on provincial and municipal government and on the administrative bureaucracy of government.
  • Politics needs bringing up to date - Kirchner now sets the political scene, within and outside the Peronist movement, and opposition is focused around individuals not ideas (Lavagna, Macri, Lopez Murphy, etc).
  • I have updated the articles on many of the major parties of the last decade, but the current status of the PJ is an issue, and of Duhalde, Menem and Rodríguez Saá within it.

I'm affraid I won't be of real help on these topics... Mariano(t/c) 07:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I second the idea of splitting. I promise I'll try to help. I'm only fearing problems with original research in the field of politics. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 11:44, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Just done. Still needs what Martín listed before. The split articles are a bit raw so to speak, so please check them. I've separated the topics with the following criterion: parties, policies, current members of whatever, la coyuntura, etc. belong to Politics; institutions, laws, formal composition of government bodies, go in Government. —Pablo D.

Beri bel dan! Mariano(t/c) 07:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, excellent. I've added something on modern provincialism and PRO - resisting analysing PJ situation until I can find reliable sources. Provincial government section, etc on new Government page is also very good - I have change the politics template to point to the government page now. Martín (saying/doing) 10:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
