This paper contributes to the debate about the ideological coherence of the Brazilian party system. Using discriminant function analysis of 20 years of surveys of Brazilian legislators, we find that the party system now exhibits relatively little coherence. Though the Worker's Party (PT) is clearly distinct, no clear ideological differences exist between the placement of the system’s three other main parties. Moreover, the spatial distance between the PT and the other parties is diminishing over time. Given the importance of a coherent ideological map to any consolidated party system, we question the notion that the Brazilian party system has gradually consolidated. Indeed, our results suggest the opposite: in recent years the Brazilian party system has become relatively more "inchoate."... view less

Este artigo é uma contribuição ao debate sobre a coerência ideológica do sistema partidário brasileiro. Utilizando um método de análise baseado em funções discriminantes de 20 anos de surveys dos legisladores brasileiros, mostramos que o sistema partidário do país exibe relativamente pouca coerência. Conquanto o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) seja claramente distinto, nenhuma diferença ideológica existe entre os outros três partidos importantes. Além do mais, a distância espacial entre o PT e os outros partidos tem diminuído ao longo do tempo. Dada a importância de um coerente espectro ideológico para qualquer sistema partidário consolidado,questionamos a noção segundo a qual o sistema partidário brasileiro está se consolidando gradativamente. De fato, nossos resultados sugerem o contrário: nos últimos anos o sistema partidário brasileiro tornou-se relativamente mais "rudimentar".... view less
