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:
“We must conclude that it is not only a particular political ideology that has failed, but the idea that men and women could ever define themselves in terms that exclude their spiritual needs.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
