Mainstream parties
Portuguese term
DA BASE
Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução para partidos políticos DA BASE no seguinte contexto:
"Os 300 picaretas do Congresso já sabiam àquela altura que as diretorias da maior estatal brasileira estavam sendo leiloadas para os partidos políticos DA BASE, com direito a percentagens generosas de todo e qualquer contrato".
Entendo que sejam "allies", vocês concordam ou apresentam alguma sugestão melhor?
Desde já agradeço-lhes a valiosíssima ajuda!!
Abraço cordial.
