The very small margin in the triumph of the extreme right in Colombia will undoubtedly invigorate the encouragement of its national guides. Otherwise, quite in need of ideas. That, to state the obvious, will do little to expand its positions, appeal and promises. Part of such inability has been rooted in its poor conceptual platforms. The horizons that could emerge from such ideas are, by far, medium in their concretions. They have lacked, on every occasion, the massive popular touch that could provide them with a muscle of majority decision-making support. Not only in the votes obtained, which they have won, not without showing notable external support. They lack continuity that strengthens those votes with benefits in rights, well-being and social goods. The notable absence of political arguments among their different local leaderships makes them unable to deepen the quality of their offers. That focuses their whistles on the errors or the weak and partial attractions that they have discovered in the opposition's progressivism.
