Recent Peruvian administrations have all governed from the center, even if they did so under widely differing rhetorical styles and party labels. And in Colombia, President Juan Manuel Santos’s administration has a history on the center-right, but has raised taxes and implemented a reform agenda that some of its ministers like to call “social democratic.”
回头看，巴西总统卡多佐的两个任期和智利民主联盟（Concertación）执政的20年都是显例。新一届秘鲁政府完全由中间派占据，即使他们的言辞风格和政党标签相去甚远。而在哥伦比亚，总统桑托斯的政府曾经属于中右翼，但它采取了增税措施，并实施了几位部长称为“社会民主色彩”的改革日程。
