Anarcho-Liberals take power

[King of Men]

So I'm a democracy, and my only laissez-faire party is the anarcho-liberals. After much manipulation and Populism, I was finally able to get them into power, and sat back expecting the cappies to get off their lazy asses and make me some factories. Instead (well, in addition) I found myself a Presidential Dictatorship! (And the plurality I had cheerfully built up all the game long became a bit of a problem.) Has anyone else seen this? The Wiki states that turning into a PD by reforms has never been reported; consider it reported. (Presumably, anarcho-liberals in power is a fairly rare event?)

As an aside, under my state-capitalism liberals I had some cappies with cash reserves of 80k, who refused to build anything. Is this expected? They were unable to buy liquor (not for lack of money, obviously), could this have anything to do with it?

You become a presidential dictatorship by having an anarcho-liberal, reactionary, or fascist party in power. You don't have any choice in the matter.

While capis can theoretically build under a state capitalist government, they pretty much never do. They will prioritize getting the goods they need and want before building, though.

Changing the party in power is not exactly what is meant by "reform"
It seems to be the rather usual way of getting a PD (opposed to a revolution).

In a recent game I put the Anarcho-Liberals into power, yet remained a ConMon until I changed voting rights from "right to ban" to "free parties".

I thought a reactionary party led to a monarchy?

I think If you get enough supporters to your ruling party, prularity is neglected...
At least thats what Ive once read in Vicky Wiky

Gah. That would have been a useful note for the Wiki to include. Thanks.

Yes, this is right.

Kind-of. Basically, only if you have the constitution of either being a monarchy, a presidential dictatorship, or a proletarian dictatorship will you receive a militancy increase due to plurality. However, if those POPs are of the same type as your ruling party then they will not receive this militancy rise.

It only affects Democracies.

If you'd like to avoid having the Anarcho-Liberals force a dictatorship, simply set voting rights to "Wealth" after they take power, as opposed to "Suffrage."

If you need Suffrage later to ensure the Anarcho-Liberals win the election again, simply return the voting rights to Suffrage during the month of the election (NOT the month before). Therefore, it is best to hold the election mid month (away from the 1st or the 30th) to ensure you can 1) Change the voting rights to Suffrage before the election and 2) change it back to Wealth after the Anarcho-Liberals take power again.
