SO will parties follow their ideologies before or after policies? i.e. will a liberal party be able to have socialist policies [i.e to show the eugenical trend in the last decade of the C19th and until the end of the game time. or allow for regional variance] and will they then follow their polcies above the ideology or will the ideology take precident and they will only support their policies after the demands of their ideological foundations have been met?
