Parties are made up of owned incumbents or candidates who wish to be owned. Ideology is insanely important to know, learn, understand, dissect, pass on..etc. Parties are collections of the weak. Team mentality is how governments always are lead into 2 separate directions and never more. Why ? because, "team mentality" is what gets jews rocks off. "Teams" are easily controlled subjects without requiring teammates/members have a thought or brain of their own. They simply bow to the "leadership" view. (you only have to control a few to control the many) Ideology and political parties are 2 very distinct and different things that (thanks to mass media) have been blended into an perverted entity where they cannot be separated. Political parties are merely hype groups for the sponsors who fund them. Nothing else.
