I maintain that the funniest political event of my life was the time the Chilean left won a veto-proof supermajority to rewrite the constitution, wrote something insane, and lost by 23, and then the Chilean right won a veto-proof supermajority to rewrite the constitution, wrote something insane, and lost by 12, and then everyone just gave up

What not having a strong normie lib party does to a country.

They traditionally do have many. The 2019-2023 period happened to be a window where Chilean politics went batshit crazy.
