Some NPL affirm that R\u00EDos Montt and Serrano El\u00EDas do not represent the Evangelicals and that they are still waiting for true representatives of their churches to reach political power. Their perspective on the horizon contemplates the idea of changing the country according to the model of the North American society. According to Wilson the failures of Evangelical politicians during the 1980s, the election of Serrano El\u00EDas and the last passage of R\u00EDos Montt in politics, demonstrate how little those personalities have determined the course of the Guatemala Evangelicals (1998: 154, 174). He says that they are not monolithic conservatives and their growth could lead to a more community-based participation which could contribute to a stronger and more coherent civil society. Freston says that Evangelical politicians in Brazil and Guatemala have become presidents, government functionaries or politicians without the assistance of Evangelical parties (2004: 132). In other words they do not necessarily depend on the Evangelical vote. On the other hand, Freston says that theocratic Evangelicals see themselves as a vanguard class, an illuminated minority convinced of its right to govern, and that their proposal of one \u2018Christian nation\u2019, is a return to the territoriality of Christianity, supported by the new charismatic theology of territorial spirits (2001: 306-307).\u000ATo sum up, the laity thinks that politics is a part of the Christian dominion which needs to be possessed. At the same time, they expressed greater reserve concerning voting for Evangelical candidates. It is, of course, impossible to know to what extent they will maintain this attitude. Mariz affirms that, in the end, \u2018a brother votes for a brother\u2019 (1995a: 203).\u000AIn spite of the failures of NPPs in the past, they think that politics is a means to promote the changes that the country needs. This affirmation does not necessarily mean that they have the political proposals to enable the needed changes.
