Abstract

This article estimates the position of the main provincial leaders according to their political style, “Low” (informal-popular) or “High” (sober-refined), in terms of Pierre Ostiguy´s framework. To achieve this, a expert-survey was carried out in each province. 191 experts were consulted. The work offers the average estimate of 117 provincial politicians, as well as the standard error of those estimates, and tests the hypothesis that differences in style are associated with the leaders´s political space. In other words, Peronist politicians tend to have a “Low” style and non-Peronist ones, and especially those of Cambiemos, a “High” style.
