matureleft, an anti-corruption drive would be a solid idea. And one where he could put feelers out to Massa, and probably will. There are plenty of egregious examples, most of whom are people that Massa doesn't like either. Leave the Massa lot alone, or even let them have a few targets. Let justice run its course where it hasn't been allowed to. And cut state funding bit by bit to the most dreadful of the Kirchnerite mobs, starting with the football ones. Also a rock solid opportunity to take down the Peronists in their strongest province (Santiago del Estero), it would also get him some credit with UCR members by taking down a prominent former Radical-K member. |

Schiaretti would be another useful ally in this manner. |

Milei winning a pretty large majority of Schiaretti voters kind of surprised me, considering that Massa isn’t necessarily a full blown Kirchnerite. |

This is such good news, for Argentina, for the West in general and for the UK in particular, and still the BBC refers to him as far right in a nation blighted by the far right for generations.

Hell yeah. And Argentina FFS. It's like UHI Perth winning University Challenge. Its their Brexit moment when the electorate kicked the establishment in the balls although doubtless Dok will explain to me that he is the establishment
OK, I know he does not have congress, but he has a whopping mandate for them to justify blocking. He will deliver on Dollarisation. I think he will visit the Falklands. Hard to cut the military, but just why does Argentina need armed forces? Who are its threats? When have they ever killed anyone other than Argentinians?
Of course, as with our civil service the establishment will obstruct and wreck but unlike our government he is not so bothered persuading the civil service to enact his policies, he just intends to send them their P45. If our government had sacked half of the First Division of the Home Office, immigration would be under control.
As with Thatcher he needs to pick his fights in the right order, no miners strike in 1980-81, get them in 84-85

The media have done such a bad job reporting on this that the Twitterati are convinced that, somehow, "they" are planning to save the Tories by rerunning the Falklands War.

Spoiler: He’s not going to invade the Falklands… He's asserting sovereignty over the Falklands with the same sincerity as any of us announcing our retirement from international football. |

I read that this morning he personally removed the sign from the Ministry of Women.
He calls Pope Francis 'a filthy leftist'.
Good man.

And Chile in general (or generals). |

Their air force was sadly pretty competent (flying mostly antique planes) in the Falklands War. |

He has to say that. Let's see how he acts beyond the rhetoric when in office. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if, beyond the motions, he's actually the most reasonable President since Carlos Menem. After all, if he does want some sort of rapprochement, he's in the best position since the collapse of the junta to do precisely that. The Peronists threw his previous conciliatory words towards us in his face during the campaign, and Argentines still voted him in by a big margin. So it obviously isn't such a big deal to them. |

You'd think that it would be a slam-dunk to identify as far-right and a bit dodgy a movement that arrived via coup, has all the hallmarks of classic fascism, and spent a long time either exiling, murdering or suiciding its opponents be they political, judicial or neither. And all of this with a personality cult based around a woman who used her power to punish anyone who had crossed her before, and a Mussolini groupie who had sex with teenagers in the presidential palace. |
