Pro-market leader Mauricio Macri won Argentina's presidential runoff vote on Sunday, according to exit polls, heralding an end to 12 years of leftist government.

Exit polls broadcast by several television channels just after voting closed at 2100 GMT indicated that conservative Macri, 56, had beaten his left-wing rival Daniel Scioli, without giving a breakdown.

heralding an end to 12 years of leftist government.

Only 12 years? Not too shabby.

Hopefully next year, 25 years of leftist government will end here.

Investigation, arrest, trial, and life in prison (or better yet, execution) for his predecessor to follow, I hope. Thanks Perdogg.

Not sure how far to the right he is, he’s a big homo supporter.

I imagine all of the commies, Socialists, Marxists and radical leftists will be seeking “refugee” and “asylee” status from Obammie’s government.

What’s the good, bad, and the ugly in this?

[babble-on]

Just in time to inherit a complete and total disaster thanks to his predecessors’ corruption and incompetence. But at least it’s a start.

They said pro-market, not fag hater.

I wish them well and hope they follow the free market examples of Chile, Peru and Colombia.

It’ll be great to not see Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in power anymore, that’s for sure.

that may be, but Argentina already has gay marriage, so it might just be that it’s no longer a controversial issue there.

He will pay the big bankers back on the debt Argentina owes instead of making a fuss about it like the leftist Kirchner made, a woman who played the ‘victim card’ like a fiddle in the face of a bad economy and her own corruption.

Christina Fernandez Kirchner has been called “The Botox Evita”.

Actually, the last time Argentina had a truly right of center President appears to have been been during the military Junta that’s rule ended in 1973.

The last elected right of center President was overthrown by a leftist military coup in 1943.

Carlos Menem was President in the 90’s (until 99), he was a Peronist but a moderate I guess and put some conservatives in his cabinet so they don’t consider him left.

They must consider the dude who came before Nestor Kirchner (12 years ago) to have been a moderate too but he was of the same party, the Peronist party.

This is major.

Thx Impy.
