“…Essa clivagem tem exercido um relevante papel como agente estruturante da disputa à Presidência da Repú-blica nas últimas duas décadas (Borges;Lloyd, 2016;Limongi ,Cortez, 2010;Melo;Camara, 2012;Samuels;Zucco, 2014). 3 Neste trabalho são analisados os programas de PT e PSDB a fim de buscar suas preferências sobre as agendas de políticas públi-cas.…”

Há um debate na ciência política brasileira sobre a bipolarização do sistema partidário, decorrente da concentração da competição, nas eleições presidenciais, em dois partidos: PT e PSDB. O objetivo do artigo é identificar o conteúdo e os termos da competição entre tais partidos no que se refere às suas ênfases temáticas, através da comparação entre os programas de governo de cada um para as eleições presidenciais de 2006 a 2014. A hipótese, derivada da saliency theory, é de que a competição entre eles se baseia na seleção de temas específicos e agendas alternativas. O método utilizado para mensuração das agendas e preferências é a análise de conteúdo, com aplicação das categorias do Manifest Research Group/MARPOR. Os resultados revelam que as plataformas se aproximam por conterem os temas da agenda pública nacional, mas se distinguem nas prioridades que estabelecem e na direção em que adaptam suas ênfases ao longo do tempo.

“…In other multilevel electoral systems (such as Canada or India), subnational elections have greater autonomy from the national layer. Factors that have been demonstrated to increase the extent to which subnational elections are dominated by national politics, and the extent to which parties coordinate with each other at the national level, include fiscal and political centralisation (Brancati, 2008;Chhibber & Kollman, 2004;Diwakar, 2010), holding concurrent elections to both tiers of government (Borges & Lloyd, 2016;Brancati, 2008), the absence of territorial cleavages (Schakel, 2013) and presidentialism (Hicken & Stoll, 2011). In more decentralised parliamentary federal systems such as India and Canada with strong territorialised regional and ethnic identities, voters are more likely to attribute policy responsibility to their regional or subnational government.…”

“…Since 1994 presidential, gubernatorial, and legislative elections at the state and federal level have concurred in Brazil, strengthening the alignment between national and subnational election outcomes (Borges & Lloyd, 2016, p. 107). With the exception of small groups of indigenous people, Brazil does not have the same territorialised ethnic identities that help to increase the primacy of subnational election contests in multi-ethnic federations such as India (Borges & Lloyd, 2016;Schakel, 2013). Furthermore, the Workers' Party (PT), in power at the federal level from 2003 to 2016, is a truly national party with representation in almost all of Brazil's municípios (counties).…”

“…In some federal systems, subnational elections are clearly subordinate (such as Germany and Brazil). In such systems, voters use information about national policies, parties or presidential candidates as a heuristic for making decisions about how to vote in subnational elections (Borges & Lloyd, 2016;Rodden & Wibbels, 2011). In other multilevel electoral systems (such as Canada or India), subnational elections have greater autonomy from the national layer.…”

Comparative studies often highlight the negative effects of federalism for welfare state expansion. We examine Brazil and India, which have both enhanced their welfare effort despite political fragmentation. We argue that federalism's effects must be seen together with degrees of party system nationalisation. In Brazil, new social policies have reinforced a move towards greater party system nationalisation. Control over anti-poverty programmes has been recentralised leading to more even outcomes. In India, while the central government also introduced new social policies, expansion has been filtered by political regionalisation. The effectiveness of social provision relies on state governments, producing substantial territorial differentiation.

“…Uma delas consiste em o candidato a governador conectar-se a um dos principais candidatos presidenciais para angariar seus eleitores, já que apoiar candidatos não viáveis poderia custar votos no nível subnacional (Borges e Lloyd, 2016). Embora Alckmin fosse o candidato do PSDB à Presidência, nunca passou da quarta colocação na disputa.…”

The article aims to verify comparatively the distribution of the PSDB's voting for São Paulo's government between the 2014 and 2018 elections, which had, respectively, Geraldo Alckmin and João Doria as candidates. We assess the significant changes in the electoral scenario that might have contributed to the PSDB's voting decline in the state in the last election. Our brand-new database has first-round voting data and average schooling and age for more than 80,000 voting sections. Although Doria's voting was not as expressive as Alckmin's in 2014, we argue the voters' profile of both candidates is similar. We observe a clear pattern when we visualize the distribution of voting, considering the two social variables in the voting sections. As the main result, older and more educated voters tend to have a higher weight in the voting of both candidates.
