Liberalism and radicalism in Ecuador
This article gives an overview of liberalism and radicalism in Ecuador. It is limited to liberal and radical parties with substantial support, mainly proved by having had a representation in parliament. The sign means a reference to another party in that scheme. For inclusion in this scheme it isn't necessary so that parties labeled themselves as a liberal party.
Introduction
Liberalism has been one of the dominant forces in Ecuador since the end of the nineteenth century. It got divided and lost influence in the second half of the twentieth century. The Alfarista Radical Front (Frente Radical Alfarista) and the Ecuadorian Radical Liberal Party (Partido Liberal Radical Ecuatoriana) are two small remainders of the traditional liberal current.
