10.01 legislative
cohesion
- ..50, AC3
- There is no specific
mention in the literature about the cohesiveness of
voting in the legislature. However since most of the
issues on which the party was for or against especially
during the second period were either passed or defeated
in the National Assembly there is a good probability that
the party members generally vote the same way. This
probably occurs not because of strong party control but
as the result of similar philosophies. If a group of
members of the party were consistently opposed by the
rest of the party on some issues, they could easily bolt
the party and join the lema or sub-lema which was most
similar to their ideas on certain issues.
- 10.02 ideological
factionalism
- 6, AC3
- Since some of the
sub-lemas are much more conservative (e.g., the Nardone
faction) or liberal (e.g., the union Blanca Democratica
faction) than others in the party and the existence of
sub-lemas are formally recognized within the party, the
party can be regarded as being ideologically
split.
- 10.03 issue
factionalism
- AC1
- It is not possible to
code this variable without much more extensive
information on issues and conflicts within the party and
legislature.
- 10.04 leadership
factionalism
- 6. AC9
- It is characteristic of
the sub-lema system to have them based on individual
leaders competing for national power.
- 10.05 strategic or
tactical factionalism
- 0, AC5
- This does not appear to
be a basis of factionalism.
- 10.06 party
purges
- 0, AC5
- There is no mention in
the literature that the party officials Mao purged any
major groups or individual leaders from the
party.
