    Is it a rule in the mainstream media that whenever they report on a Latin American leftist taking power, they must also talk about how investors feel about that?

    What actual fucking hogs are working over there at Reuters, holy shit. The absolute fucking pearl clutching over a president putting members of his own party into positions of power. Of course he is, he's not a fucking moron.

      I think while Peru Libre won the presidential election, they do not currently have a majority in the legislature.

      Edit: Peru has a unicameral legislature with 130 seats. 37 are held by Peru Libre, 24 by Popular Force (Fascists/Fujimorists), 16 by Popular Action (Liberals), 13 by Popular Renewal (Conservatives), 8 by We Are Peru (Christian Democrats), and some other marginal parties.

        Looks like he's going to have to coalition with liberals to get things done. The critique of electoralism remains in place even though a communist getting elected isn't a bad thing, best case for Peru is the trend holds and after a couple more cycles they get a radical majority in power.
