Brazilian Political System: The Third Way and the Majin Bu effect.

Following the news every day, we strive to understand what exactly is the third method and how causes Analysts are trying to convince us that only this can break the political polarization in the country.

It is impossible to assimilate this analysis without understanding the political system of Brazil, whose constitution, adopted in 1988, defined pluripartidarism as a stone clause allowing a country to violate bipartisanship between ARENA and MDB, which happened during the military dictatorship.

American political scientist Scott Mainwaring was one of the first to warn about the danger of a multi-party system in which many parties were created “without strong and stable social roots”, that is, without ties with society and, therefore, fair transformation into an institutionalized political system.

As a prospect for the creation of the Brazilian political system, it was designed with the presidency of the United States in mind, but this did not happen, and we created jabuticaba, exclusively for us.

Thirty-three (33) years after the promulgation of the constitution, there are thirty-three (33) political parties registered in the country. TSEamong others eighty three (83) Parties to the formation with applications for registration awaiting signatures and / or a decision for verification, that is, Scott Mainwaring was correct in his statement.

O coalition presidential approach it was the answer that the political class found to maintain its governance among the countless representatives of the various parties seated in the chairs of the national congress. There are so many parties that the possibility that any president will rule with an absolute majority in the ideological field is unlikely, since many parties have become physiological, that is, subtitles for hire.

Today, the government, which is based on the Liberal Social Party (PSL) and which has the largest assembly in the chamber (54 deputies), cannot even approve simple majority projects without negotiations with other parties, just imagine PEC, the number of which 308 votes are required for the passage of the project to the Senate. It is in this context that any politician elected next year will have to rule, and it is from here that I discuss the third path, which I see only as an alignment of forces without popular roots and without a political leadership that awakens into a genuine interest in his political project.

The third path, consisting of DEM, PSDB, PDT, NOVO, CITIZENSHIP, MDB, PV and even PSL, tried to consolidate as an alternative to the polarization between Lula and Bolsonaro, preaching opposition to the government and calling for protests for impeachment, but just one short request for congressional radarto make sure that the parties in question are extremely close to the government and their opposition is nothing more than a political dramatization.

The biggest proof of this is that there was no shortage of street demonstrations and popular pressure to impeach, what was lacking is that the third way parties also operate in this way in parliament through their congressmen. Today, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (Progressists), has nothing but 133 requests for impeachment on your desk awaiting analysis.

Therefore, it would be an illusion to think that a number of parties supporting the government in Congress actually want impeachment, since it is impossible not to link the institutional, economic and social destruction of the country with which they supported this current project. The third way is already being born dead, not only because of the lack of social roots, but also because of the absence of political leaders with national identity.

With the exception of Ciro Gomes, all other candidates for the third path campaigned by associating their names with Bolsonaro. However, given the barbarity set up by the Brazilian government during the pandemic, even João Doria is becoming an acceptable political figure given Bolsonaro’s contempt for us Brazilians.

Here I take the liberty of maintaining what I call the “Majin Boo effect.”

In the mythology of the Dragon Ball Z anime, created by Akira Toriyama, Majin Bu was summoned by evil forces and left to devastate the entire universe until he devours a God who can purify his body and then be sealed. After 5 million years, the magician breaks the seal and frees him, a series of successive events forces “Majin Bu” to devour all of his enemies. At some point, he is captured by an evil force that conceived him, spitting out all the enemies he absorbed and returning to his original form.

The third method is nothing more than the remains of a pocket book. A political class that allowed itself to be swallowed up by an evil creature, thinking it could be controlled, but has now been thrown and spat out. On the verge of disappearing from the political scene, they try to join forces among themselves to defeat the creature whom they helped free the seal that imprisoned him. Until they can join forces, our “Majin Bu” will destroy what is left of the country.

Finally, for the third way, it remains to try to go through the center with the support of liberal sectors and media conglomerates, leaving only one observation: the third way is nothing more than a wallet without Bolsonaro.
