In this century state control was alternated between single party regimes or hegemonies that celebrate neither competitive nor truly election under exclusionary electoral systems. Simple majority, block vote, and tiny electoral districts were examples of a systems designed to hinder equal participation of the opposite party. After a military regime in a transition moment (1953-57) both parties enter in a long period of collusion and cartelization (1957-2002) that allows state and political corruption, and at the same time the rise of an unstructured and volatile opinion vote. The new constitution incites (1991) clientage intensification and the formation of small personal and family electoral enterprises perverse dynamic can only by stopped by an institutionalize electoral reform base in a affective electoral threshold.
