translated from Spanish: The summer topic (politician): what the elections unfold?

with the absence of representatives of the Peronist party, those who reject any kind of change in the election timetable, deputies and Senators Buenos Aires held the first meeting of the group responsible for defining the advancement of l as elections in the province of Buenos Aires.Para the Justicialismo, the absence from the meeting responds that the cost of this process would be enabling to build 200 gardens of infants or increases by 20% to the budget of the school canteens. The truth is that the February 28, 2019 is the final date on which the Commission must emit opinion about the possibility of unfolding the municipal elections, including in experimental way, in some municipalities.

Regardless of political color, what is it for early elections?
It means that a candidate is not determined by a so-called “blanket ballot” vote. In practice, this is which includes candidates from several categories of charges together (President, Governor, mayors) and that generates what is known as drag effect. Only two countries in Latin America have it: Argentina and Uruguay. Designed for a two-party system that governs already not on national political life, this format is increasingly questioned.

What you motivate to change for early elections?
The first point has to do with the recent history. In the legislative elections of the year 2017, the active participation of the Governor Vidal (who obviously was not a candidate) was key to Esteban Bullrich victory in the District more village of the Argentina.Esto means that in case the call to vote in the province is in the presidential elections, an eventual victory of Vidal would strengthen the candidacy of Macri and increase required polarization for kirchnerism. Similarly, also the Governor would separate his luck to be reelected the President runs.

What is the counterpoint that officialdom seen in this decision?
The truth is that few consultants analyze the image of Macri in the suburbs is in fall and is unrecoverable. In addition to this, they point out that the Buenos Aires are becoming quite opponents to the administration of the President, but not to the Vidal. In that sense, the chances of re-election of Vidal and avoid the negative drag of Macri would rise to separate your ballot from the President’s. In this note:
