The National Front agreement to share power between
Liberals
and Conservatives was a constructive effort to assuage the
interparty strife and distrust that had contributed to
both the
violence and the collapse of the democratic system. Its
inauguration marked the beginning of a gradual decline in
the level
of confrontation. Nevertheless, the necessity of securing
bipartisan support for any policy or action produced
several
difficulties--most notably, stalemate and inaction in the
governmental process, voter apathy, and the exacerbation
of
factionalism within the two parties--that were to plague
National
Front administrations.
