EVERY major wiki has this type of this, because that's how a website is supposed to work. We're not a full-fledged nation state, so there's no need for this at all.

A system if parties, I believe, would only cause more tension in this community. As Batran said down below, political parties are all about an 'us versus them' mentality, and causing such idelogical divisions would only serve to drag out more conflicts, even if it were to be regulated.

Besides, we do give people voices, we do listen. Unfortunately, some ideas that get a lot of exposure here come from the more 'colorful' members, namely vlad, so they're often so outlandish that we can't really give that idea a chance.

We did try to experiment with the concept of political parties before, but we stopped it, and I think that was a good thing in the end. Who knows how many wars would have started because of it?

Speaking of wars, they would probably still be around had it not been for this "autocratic one party system" that you claim it is.
