    Argentina has had basically the same Peronist politics for years and it has consistently failed to deliver, but still people are shocked when the Argentinians have had enough and decide to vote for something different.

    He’s probably going to be complete shite too, but hopefully it leads to a more moderate figure in future that can actually provide prosperity for Argentina.
