message: I think it should be reflected that the party is actually centre-right (being also affiliated to the Christian Democrat Organization of America, which groups conservative parties). --Miacek (talk) 09:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ideology/political position 

message: Wouldn't Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira translate better as Brazilian Social Democracy party? Strictly speaking there is no Brazilian Social Democratic Party, at least not as a name for this one party.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.214.59.222 (talk) 13:04, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brazilian Social Democracy Party 

message: The two sources from Italian news pages say that Aecio Neves is the candidate of the centre-right. They do not say that PSDB is a centre-right party. Neves is the candidate of a centre-right coalition, mainly consisting of the centrist PSDB and PTB and the right-wing Democratas. Therefore he is the candidate of the centre-right. Why should two articles by Italian journalists (who are probably not experts on Brazilian politics) be considered more important than dozens of other sources describing PSDB as centrist, anyway? --RJFF (talk) 16:06, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Centre-right 

message: # PSDB was born as a leftist schism of the centrist PMDB. 
# The party was created mainly by leftists and opponents to the Military Regime.
# The "Plano Real" was created during Itamar Franco Government, not during Fernando Henrique Government.
# The privatization of many state-owned companies was necessary in order to stabilize the economy which suffered years of statist governments and failed interventionistic economic plans. And in fact many Nordic social-democrat party also privatized companies in order to recover economic grown.
# FHC never said "forget all I wrote", contrariwise he says that his government was in accordance to his works. He debunked this myth during an interview to the "O Globo" newspaper. (http://www.midiasemmascara.org/arquivos/4508-esquecam-tudo-o-que-eu-escrevi.html)
# PSDB is not a liberal party, as it is said by many leftists. During FHC Government, the tax revenue increased enormously. (http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/pensata/ult1470u21.shtml)
# PSDB is not a conservative party. There are no significant conservative positions inside the party, maybe there are none.
# PSDB makes alliances mainly with centrist parties, while he may be a long-term ally of the corporativist neoliberal Democratas, however it is also a long-term ally of the socialistic PPS.
# PSDB was a member of the Socialist International, however the organization did not allowed them into their XXII Convention, causing indignation inside the party, who described PT as a "conservative party aligned to the elites". (http://www.psdb.org.br/congresso-da-internacional-socialista/)
# PT was a harsh opponent to Fernando Henrique's economic policy, however Lula kept the same "neoliberal" plan.
# PSDB created social programs which were the precursors of Lula's social programs (Bolsa Escola, Auxilio Gás, PETI, etc).
# José Serra is an enemy to the tobacco, as Minister of Health he banned all propaganda of cigarettes. He is probably the most leftist member of the party (however probably after FHC who supports marijuanna legalization and 'regulation' of the media), in true I think he despises both tobacco and the military.
# Geraldo Alckmin is a centrist and statist politician who uses the goverment to benefit private corporations. Also he is not conservative in any way. (http://homemculto.com/2013/06/13/para-quem-acha-que-psdb-nao-corre-atras-de-voto-esteja-onde-estiver/)
# The pro-life position of many brazilian politicians in Brazil (including Dilma Rousseff) is taken because the brazilian people are massively right wing and conservative. They usually adopt moderate leftist positions but never such audacious choice.
# When studying any democratic and moderate party it is necessary to remember that leftists always manipulate the double meaning of the word "conservative", which may describe someone who supports the current situation or someone who values western culture and tradition.
