“…This result confirms the idea that the Uruguayan party system reached a new equilibrium point from 2004 on, after a period of gradual but systematic change from 1984 to 2004 (Buquet and Piñeiro, 2014). The net inter-party percentage change was 4.2%, a real low figure compared with a mean of 11% for the period from 1942 to 2014.…”

“…The Uruguayan party system has evolved over time to its current equilibrium, in which the Frente Amplio holds a majority and the National Party constitutes the main opposition bloc (Buquet and Piñeiro 2014). The Colorado Party (PC) and National Party (PN) constituted the major two players in the party system prior to 1971 and maintained their dominance even as the FA entered the scene as a significant third party in the period from 1971-2004.…”

Uruguay faced significant headwinds in 2018. The Frente Amplio is confronting a slowing economy, and its most challenging election yet. Overall, economic growth is positive, but reduced from the previous year; inflation, unemployment, and the deficit are above target rates. After the loss of a deputy in 2016, the Frente returned to a strong legislative efficiency rate in 2018. However, the party remains vexed by President Tabaré Vázquez's ever lower approval rating, which dipped to a nadir of 30% by year's end. The party's challenges are extensive. Economic stagnation, low presidential approval ratings, a slim parliamentary majority, and disaffected voters fuse to create substantial unpredictability for the 2019 elections and the country's future political configuration.

“…En los dos casos revisados, ha habido una tendencia decreciente a la participación de la ciudadanía en las internas desde la instauración de este sistema. 39 En Uruguay, los electores de las primarias tienen un perfil diferente a los de la elección general (Buquet y Piñeiro, 2014), lo cual está más acentuado cuanto más reducida es la concurrencia ciudadana en la instancia preliminar (Piñeiro, 2014). En Argentina, el selectorado interno es más parecido al electorado general, en la medida en que las primarias son obligatorias para toda la ciudadanía, con lo cual en ellas se tiende a mantener la misma estructura de incentivos que habitualmente liga a los electores con el partido (Gallo, 2017).…”

This paper evaluates the effects of the open primary elections system at Argentina and Uruguay as a key element during the last Latinamerican political reforms. The presumed benefits of this practice are considered-improving internal party life and ordering the party system, evaluating its functioning in all the elections since its incorporation and comparing the results to ascertain the evolution of its implementation. We note that these benefits have not been obtained so far, particularly in Argentina, where the incorporation of this mechanism was based on contradictory principles with antagonistic points of view about political parties which only hinders a rightful appraisal of them. All this rises the establishment of a kind of competition that is not party-ruled, personalized or divided into sectors, which ends up promoting fragmentation, internal inconsistencies and loss of relevance of the political parties, both in terms of their internal structure as well as their position and behaviour within the general overview of democratic institutions.
