Edits: Ok, I\'ve been shouted down in caucus and retracted the controversial elements of my visionary plan ... made a few edits to tone down the ideological agreement stuff. For the record the changed part was:
Description
An organisation for advancing a philosophical view through the control of government.
Motivation and Discussion
Power and disagreement lead readily to the emergence of factions within social and political groups. Factions form when there is a concordance of philosophical agreement and mutual benefit and support. Within large social groups of approximate peers, these formalise into organisations for controlling government, political parties.
Also added:
At its simplest, and weakest, it can be little more than a mutual interest in power.
and the Guelph bit.
Seriously, thanks for the feedback, all.
