National focus and liberals

[telesien]

Hi, quick question: does the focus to encourage party loyalty to liberals increase the number of liberals or is it only for voting in the lower house elections?

The thing is I am very unhappy with the slow rise of liberals even in countries that have slavery like Brazil. So far when I do nothing about it, I get to 20th century without ever being able to abolish slavery, let alone create modern democratic state. Or is there another way to create more liberals?

Party loyalty just affects how the pops vote as far as I know, their ideology is determined separately.
If you want more liberals (no idea why, autocracy is the best!) you have to raise pop literacy/conciousness/state plurality, there's likely a calculator thing in the code somewhere with all the modifiers.
Raising their militancy will also help, though by pushing them away from conservatism rather than towards liberalism.

Yeah, that's what I already tried, but before liberals get even close to pushing their agenda thought the upper house, I get socialists who draw a lot from them, so my best record is about 40% pro-reform even when I push for all the usual stuff like literacy, plurality, consciousness and militancy.

Why I want more liberal country? Mostly immigration. Brazil has huge size, but tiny population in comparison

In that case your best bet is to raise pop militancy so conservatives in the upper house will give way to reforms.
Other than getting a huge middle class there's not much else you can do

Brazil's best bet for axing slavery is an event that raises liberal % in the house, unfortunately. Unless you want to go the forcing militancy route like Doukan says.

Immigration is also really finicky as any country not the US, so you couldn't rely on it anyway.
