I'm writing a story which has two characters of different political extremes and need to get their "voice" correct.
My idea is that one is hardcore Peronista and the other is the type of person who would be quite happy to see the military back in power. For starters, are those mutually exclusive political positions to hold?? (sorry, bit ignorant here )
so let's take these two people and see what they might think about these things:
as an example, I'm from the UK and if we took a typical labour and conservative politician, they might say of Europe:
conservative: we've given away too much power to Brussels. The UK has to take back the sovereignty that it's given away. Thank god we didn't join the Euro, the pound must remain, blah blah blah
labour (well, new labour, old labour could be pretty anti-europe when they wanted to be...) we're stronger together, we must be at the heart of europe, if not, decisions will be taken without our input, paranoia about european superstate is unfounded, blah blah blah
that's just to give you an idea of what type of info I'm looking for on argentine politics.
happy for expats and locals to educate me.

- the 2001 crisis (who would these two figures blame?)
- the malvinas situation
- the presence of mercosur immigrants
- the current dollar/inflation situation
- the overall fall of argentina from one of richest countries in world to their current state
