POLITICS: And so to round two…
Round two for the new Rousseff administration appears to be
political-electoral reform. It has become almost a rite of passage for new
governments in Brasília to dip their toes into the testy waters of political
reform, only to baulk at the turbulence it causes in a congress unwilling to
alter the status quo. President Dilma Rousseff, who enjoys a very comfortable
overall majority in parliament (most notably in the large lower house) is in a
rather unique position to take up the challenge. Veteran Brazil watchers,
however, are under no illusions about the prospects for substantive
change.
