What is the formula of reform support?

[markyears]

I would like to know what exactly determine the percentage of upper house who support reform. I thought the increase of 1 militancy will add 10% of support. But it seems that the percentage also depends on consciousness. Is that true? And what is the exact formula? Thanks!

There is not 1 formula, it works with a set of modifers that may differ per mod.
See the file: Victoria 2\mod\[modname]\common\ideologies.txt

In Vanilla, from what I understand, you have 3 opinions when it comes to reforms
1. No reforms at all(reactionaries). They will always say no.
2. I am indifferent(Conservatives). The percentage of them agreeing depends on your militancy, so if you have 5 militancy you get 50% support.
3. I am all for it(Liberals). They will always say yes.

Adding 10% support due to Militancy means 10% of the "indifferent" political factions. If those "indifferent" factions (meaning Conservatives in general, Liberals on Social issues, or Socialists on Political issues) total 90% of your upper house, then you'll see a 9% increase in total support. If they're only 10% of your upper house, then you only get a 1% total increase in support. Note that support for Political issues is not the same as support for Social issues, because the factions supporting or indifferent to them are not identical.

Thanks guys! Now I figured. In the file "common\ideologies.txt", there is
OR = {
militancy = 1
political_movement_strength = 0.1
}

This means both militancy and movement strength can determine the attitude of the "indifferent" political factions.
