The paper employs the concept of descriptive representation in an investigation of the socioeconomic, institutional, and contextual conditions of political inequality. The scope of analysis is the election of the Chamber of Deputies in 2018. Descriptive representation standards are observed according to gender and race at the level of the Federation unity. The research employs statistical analysis to assess factors related to the present descriptive inequality and its change between 2014 and 2018. The limited number of cases allows a detailed approach to the identified relations. It is interpreted that the occurrence of a reduction in political inequality in the Federation unity is associated with the candidacy of Bolsonaro in two ways: (a) less reelection of incumbents; and (b) politicization of the gender agenda in elections. It is credited to the socioeconomic and institutional factors, respectively, conditionality and intervention. Grounded on the case investigated, an interpretative model of the socioeconomic, institutional, and contextual conditions of short-term change in parliamentary political inequality is proposed.

This research aims to investigate the continuity of neoliberalism in the Latin America electoral politics during the Pink Tide, showing its presence in the presidential platforms launched from 1999 to 2015. A content analysis, based on the Washington Consensus, which is a kind of neoliberal manifesto, is used as an approach in this research. The analysis used 94 platforms from 47 presidential elections that took place in 13 Latin American countries. The research reveals that neoliberalism in fact has lost ground and the Washington Consensus rules, such as privatization and reduction in public spending, have been emphatically rejected. Meanwhile the ground established by rules such as inflation control and public deficit reduction presents the neoliberal resilience during the Pink Tide, even in nonneoliberal presidential platforms. As far as it measures the presence of the Washington Consensus in Latin America political scene after 2000, this study helps to ponder on the anti-neoliberal agenda limits and the basis of the resumption of the ideology in the subcontinent.
