Colombia is an interesting case as it shows signs of a consolidating partisan system since the political reform of 2003. Based on an analysis of the vote by socio-economic stratum in the five largest cities in the last four legislative elections, we find that this country shows, contrary to international trends, a tendency towards greater social segmentation of the vote, and we propose some interpretations in this regard. |
