With roughly 3.5 million people, Uruguay is the sixth South American country with a government that identifies itself as socialist. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela and Ecuador have all elected leftist governments within the past few years. I wonder why it took so long to announce this if the election happened on Halloween?
