Rober Michel's Iron Law of Oligarchies.

In case you didn't know, the rules of politics in this game, and in Real Life, are under the inevitable force of the "Iron Law of Oligarchies". If you have been around in the political module of this game, you need little more explanation:
a small core of 'friends' weave a secret link of favours for holding the power.

Well, the reference of the guy:

So, it is not TUP's fault, it is not any member's character to blame, it is within the very same nature of politics.

Next: the nature of democracy. (both here and elsewhere)

Always: do some sport, read a book of something you've never heard of,
learn a language, and develop your own sense of criticism.

Most of the time, the people screaming cabal just turn into a cabal themselves.

(whether thats an admission of the existence of my superawesome cabal or not is up to your interpretation)
