This is a great summary of Portugal’s political system; the best I’ve read so far. I’m looking forward to your next post. Well done.

Great post. We’ve read about the election some, but highly value your inside perspective.

Thank you for doing all the work to report this. I’ve been a bit concerned about this chega party and am interested to read your next installment. Thank you!

Amy and Scott, I always enjoy your intelligent, detailed observations about life in Portugal, and this is no exception. Looking forward to part 2.

Thanks for the tutorial. I won't comment on political issues on what is essentially a public forum. I'll just say I hope it all goes well for you and all the other expats in Portugal.

This is a keeper! I shall need to review it to keep the factions straight. Well done in setting the stage.
