EUA - Partidos Políticos
Todos nós ouvimos falar de dois partidos que dominam a cena política americana. É aquilo a que se chama um sistema de dois partidos.
Fui espiolhar um pouco mais, até porque, neste momento, para além dos dois candidatos dos Partidos Democrático e Republicano, já foram anunciadas mais duas candidaturas: uma Independente e outra do Partido Libertário.
Em próximo e-mail informarei sobre este assunto.
Por agora, deixo-vos umas listas que, na minha opinião, têm o interesse de espicaçar a nossa curiosidade.
