((Oh well. Since nobody wants to give their platforms, I'll just go with Status Quo.)).
Party: Nacionales
Candidate: Carrera
Coalition: Coalition with Conservadores
Coalition Candidate: No Preference

Cooperation is important for Chile. Therefore I support Carrera's candidacy. However, if Rivera is elected as party candidate instead, then I will support him.

((Still a seriously a hard choice when it comes to candidate. However, not knowing their respective policies...yeah, this'll do.))
"Let us not get ahead of ourselves of the policies of the Liberales! We have a great future ahead of Chile, and I do not wish to reform every part of the Chilean Nation so rash and blindly. Mayor de Santa Rosa has visions, that is good, but new is not always better and at the speed he wishes to implent these visions will result in a nightmare. I would never stand in the way of progress, but revolution as de Santa Rosa speaks of is not the answer. As promised I wish to present my platform once again, but first I wish to discuss my term as presidente.
Why should I be re-elected? My administration was elected right after a coup and during a war, in the worst case scenario we could have lost the war, and we could have been forced to give up more land, and our soldiers would have died for nothing. Yet my administration and I had managed to turn the war, despite the odds, to the best possible outcome. We have defeated the Argintinians, we have regained our core provinces, and despite great losses we have managed to resupply the army with healthy and professional soldiers. Not only has my administration resupplied the army, but in turn we have also produced Chile's first artillery units, the finest equipment for our soldiers, which has in turn strengthed the army more than ever before. We have managed to secure ourselfves in South America - no local nation can challenge us when it comes to the military strength. Except Brazil, but we have also managed to secure friendly and good relations with the brazillians, and even better we have been allies in a war and we have no grudge. Effectivly I can declare Chile a strong and secure nation as a result of my administration and policies. Yet my opponents say, that my economic policies have been a failure - that the economy has not prospered during my administration. That is only partially true, it is true, the economic growth has not been as i had hoped, but what is not true, is that this is a result of my policies and my administration as my adverseries claim. War senores, is the enemy of growth, and this is why I have not managed to deliver the rate of growth which I had hoped. Now that the war is over, and we face another election, growth will finally prosper, and I have created a plan to increase it;
Industrialization Encouragement Act
- Encourage Capitalists in Santiago
- Lower the tax for the rich strate (capitalists) by at least 15%
I wish to encourage capitalists to move their operations to santiago, and to further encourage their investments, I wish to lower the taxrate for them by at least 15%. This will give the capitalists more resources to invest in, and in turn will speed indutrilization in Chile, creating jobs and economic growth. Furthermore my ambition for my next term, if elected, would be to construct railroads -all- over Chile. The government will invest in railroads improving our infastructure, and in turn creating more opportunity for those who live in rural areas, and this will also encourage the more rural areas to become populated, as they can now be transported to their work places. My overall policies shall remain the same for my next term, if elected;
Interventionalism
Moralism
Pro-Military
Residency
-President Romano
