As someone almost completely ignorant about Brazilian politics, this surprised me a bit. In the U.S., it urban voters tend to vote for the more progressive candidates. I'd assumed that was more or less a universal truth. Apparently not!
- coliveira 4y agoThe split is not really about urban voters. It is between the more developed south and the up and coming north of the country. Lula has enacted policies that help in the development of traditional poorer areas in the north of Brazil. That's why the more developed urban centers in the south don't like him.
