    1. Neat but only temporal. In 10-15 years it will be probably the other way round.

    2. In what sense does French Guyana have a left wing government? Not only is Macron’s party center right, but a plurality of Guyanese voters voted for far right party Rassemblement National during the last legislative elections.

      EDIT: Someone pointed out that the Assembly of French Guiana (Péyi Guyane) is leftwing, and so I was wrong.

      So just remember, imagine you are looking at the continent from the Pacific side of the Ecuador-Colombian border!

      Isn’t South America rather infamous for vacillating between these two extremes rather frequently?

    5. Hopefully Colombia will turn blue next year, first time ever the left had the chance to govern and they have screwed things up worst than every one imagined.

      Lets remember that Brazil congress, both chambers, is mostly right wing. The „left“ president cant do much.

    7. Elections in Colombia are next year, and Venezuela might be „nudged“ by the US soon as well. Expect more blue soon.

      There is no political center on this map, since Macron is definitely not left-wing.

      It is interesting, it is also important to remember that dividing politics in only two categories „left and right“ is a BIG over simplification that can be easily used to promote hate to „the other group“ while avoiding critical analysis.

      Macron, who is of course the president of the republic that French Guyana is part of, is center to center-right.

      Average South American politics can be described as a pendulum swing from one end to another every four to six years due to how incompetent and corrupt every single one of these politicians are. In four years, and I bet money on it, we will be seeing the media discussing if the continent will go through another pink wave. Nothing fundamentally changes when it comes to South America, and its just sad…

      You are only analyzing the presidents of these countries and not the people that is so shallow

      Is Venezuela really left winged? Maduro has aligned himself with Putin, who’s a literal fascist.
