Brazil is voting to elect a new president. On the ballot is the incumbent Jair Bolsonaro
and Luiz In谩cio Lula da Silva, known almost universally as Lula, a fiery leftist who was Brazil鈥檚 president from 2002 to 2010.

Bolsonaro is a former army officer with solid conservative views. Lula is very left leaning and in favour of protecting the environment.

Their contrasting policies on issues such as the economy, law and order, family values, and the environment, have polarised the country.

Whoever wins will lead a country with deep divisions.

So this week on The Inquiry we are asking: How can Brazil鈥檚 next president unite the country?
