Dilma Rousseff, the president, has taken a strong stance against corruption and cronyism, endearing her to voters. But her position is less popular with some in her unwieldy coalition, who see jobs and other favours as fair exchange for loyalty. Obstructive partners, more than an opposition rendered ineffective by a decade in the wilderness, will slow legislation to a trickle, but modest progress will be made on a packed reform agenda. Economic growth will recover from a largely self-induced slowdown in 2012.
