I think in general Uruguay has less extremes overall than american political parties. Overall Uruguay is social democratic country and has been that way since the end of the dictatorships (which were indeed run by the colorado party). I would say all parties find themselves either center right or center left, calling any of them right wing or left wing compared to the extremism we see in the US seems a tad off.
- agilebyte 13y agoWhen you say extremism in the US do you mean regarding social or economic policies? (looking at things from the UK)
- doppenhe 13y agotoday I would say both. Specially the republican party that has started catering to the extreme right wing conservatives. Having lived most of my life in Uruguay and only moved to the US 10 years ago I am amazed on how quickly the political system here has devolved towards the extremes.
