Editing Colorado Party (Uruguay) (section)

== Ideology ==
The party seeks to unite [[moderate]] and [[Liberalism|liberal]] groups, although its members have had a diverse set of ideologies since its foundation, including [[Krausism]] and [[liberal conservatism]], as well as general [[pragmatism]]. It was the [[dominant-party system|dominant party of government]] almost without exception during the stabilization of the Uruguayan [[republic]].

The Colorado Party has traditionally been an ideologically diverse party, with one study from the 1950s noting that "the liberal ideological position assumed by the Colorado. a half-century ago under the drive of Batlle has forced the Blancos or Nationalists to become more relatively conservative in position. On the part of both major parties, however, many inconsistencies and many ideological subdivisions, temporary or permanent, occur. Each of the large parties has its conservatives and its liberals, and party lines are often difficult to hold in congressional debate.”<ref>Uruguay: Portrait of a Democracy By Russell Humke Fitzgibbon, 1956 P.148-149</ref>
