Unlike the fascists and conservativos of Chile Bevan fights against authoritarianism and doesn't cow-tow to itor promote it.
I personally am a Liberale and stand for Liberale principles, but I would like to point out that the Liberales have, more than once, resorted to cheap tactics and shifty coalitions to retain their power in government, or even for something as petty as keeping someone they do not like out of government. Sr. Andonie's grandfather most certainly comes to mind.
I only hope that the new liberal movement is purified of its old, aristocratic roots, and is better prepared to take the reigns of democracy.
We need Escovedo's vote! Liberales, you need a coalition with us. If you dont do so, the FNT will ally with the comunistas to gain votes andboth of us will fail.
I have already made my views clear. I will never go into coalition with facists even if it costs me electorally.
I woukd urge those liberals who voted for a coalition to change their vote to no coalition.
Your support for a stalwart, uncompromised liberal is noble, Senor Andonie; however, we all oppose socialism, and while I hold no great love for Senor Tottenheim, he is really nothing more than a Nationalista of old. As well, if we compromise, it will be a moderate ticket, something akin to say a laissez-faire, free trade, pluralist, pro-military, full citizenship, since it seems the only issue we seem to have an issue with is economic policy (since my antiwar stance seems unlikely to garner much support).

I personally have nothing against the FNT. We all want the same thing, don't we? I don't mind their economic views, as it will give more security to the people and the economy. I am sure they would be willing to work with me and the Frente in the future and I am sure that together we can bring the values of unity and brotherhood back to the forefront of Chilean society.
