Both “parties”, and pretty much any established “party” in the world need to go the way of the dinosour.
The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory, first developed by the German syndicalist sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties.Democracy is impossible; there is no principled way of deciding the winner of an election with more than two candidates. Somebody has to winnow the field down to two for us; we can’t possibly do it ourselves. Even if that “somebody” turned out, to my surprised ultimate delight, turned out in 2016 to be the celebrity billionaire Donald Trump.The “iron law of oligarchy” states that all forms of organization, regardless of how democratic or autocratic they may be at the start, will eventually and inevitably develop oligarchic tendencies, thus making true democracy practically and theoretically impossible, especially in large groups and complex organizations. The relative structural fluidity in a small-scale democracy succumbs to “social viscosity” in a large-scale organization. According to the “iron law,” democracy and large-scale organization are incompatible.
