Ideology & Issues
The League was a progressive liberal and radical democratic party, committed to implementation of universal suffrage and social laws. The party was inspired by "kathedersocialisme", the progressive politics professed by latitudinarian preachers. It championed democratization of the political system by abolishing the Senate (the upper house of parliament) and the implementation of a referendum. It favoured the nationalization of crucial industries like the railways.

Famous quotes containing the words ideology and/or issues:
“Liberation is an evershifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises.... It has the therapeutic quality of providing emotionally charged rituals of solidarity in hatred—it is the amphetamine of its believers.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
