Where do Argentina's candidates stand on the Political Compass?

2. Yes and maybe.

The Kirchnerist left (represented mainly by the FpV's youth chapter, La Cámpora) may mumble and grumble about Scioli, who represents the Kirchnerist "right" (similar to labor Democrats here in the U.S. - and well to the left of, say, Hillary). But once Scioli was nominated, they and their preferred candidate, Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo, put aside their misgivings pretty quickly for the most part - a decision born more out of pragmatism than out of having Zannini on the ticket or not.

The belief that Cristina Kirchner is planning to run again in 2019 - and that "Zannini is corrupt" - is an article of faith among opposition circles, particularly those on the right. But the first part is predicated on having someone in the opposition win (which unlikely to happen, given the polls currently), and the second has certainly not become the issue Macri et. al. were hoping it would be, for two reasons: one, because accusations (extremely easy to make in Argentina due to the legal power of "denouncement", which requires no proof) haven't yielded even one indictment against him, despite being investigated by far-right judges; and two, because Macri is contending with a number of very serious "denouncements" of his own - with proof.
