SUMMARY:

The reelection is understood to be the main factor to explain politicians’ gravitational orbit. However, this stressed motivation by academic research does not explain the case of “new democracies” and show itself to be insufficient to understand the actions of politicians. Knowing how elected representatives commit their time and effort has meaningful implications. Aiming to explore different political types in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies, this work develops an analysis of how political ambition can shape different profiles of deputies through their speech. Using unsupervised learning techniques to explore topic modelling, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), this research shows significant differences in the political ambition profile: legislators who demonstrate progressive ambition promote discussions concerning districts and specifical groups, display their actions in a public manner, pressure authorities inside and outside the Chamber to find solutions to different problems, pay homage and propel public figures, districts, and events. This content of speech shows itself to be remarkable in shaping different types of political profile of deputies in Brazil. Furthermore, the present research drives an important agenda of organizing the topics of parliamentary discussion in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies.
