Even though I originally intended to illustrate Lefwing trends in Brazilian Pop I have noticed that more than half of the articles and items posted here have to do with RIGHTWING policies as much as their counterpart.
This blog should be re-named but I couldn't be bothered... so here we are: Leftwing as well as Rightwing activities are recorded here for the delight of those who like politics with their coffee or tea.
Some of the acts who originally were 'leftwingers' may have shifted into the rightwing camp with the passage of time. Some others who I originally thought 'leftwingers' may not have been so from the start.
So I think all options are open and everything should be taken with a pinch of salt.
