These governments’ potential to innovate depends on the political resources and power at their disposal. The first government of the left in Uruguayan history has comparative advantages in this respect, for, unlike in Brazil and Chile, Uruguay’s social democrats have ruled as a one-party majority government. The Frente Amplio (FA) brings together nearly all the country’s left-wing groups and has the loyal support of labor unions.
这些政府的创新潜力依赖于他们所能支配的政治资源和权力。在这方面，乌拉圭历史上的第一届左翼政府具有一些比较优势。因为与巴西和智利不同，乌拉圭社会民主主义者的治国之道是一个一党多数政府。广泛阵线 (FA)集结了该国几乎所有的左翼党派并得到了工会的忠心支持。
