It's a ludicrous to think you can ban parties. Parties\factions are part of human nature. The only place where parties are banned are communist\authoritarian dictatorships & absolute monarchies. "Parties" still form to influence "government (and advance careers!)" over "issues" there just not out in the open. They're called "factions" !
Precisely. Which is probably why Franklin said it’s a Republic if you can keep it.
