Editing Ruling party

The '''ruling party''' is a [[political party]] that holds [[executive power]].

In diplomacy, any gang of thugs, cabal, creeps or goons that can form a [[faction]] and control the armed forces, can pretty much call itself a ruling party, and [[international law]] will eventually be forced to recognize it.  See [[types of countries]] for varying attitudes on this.

Swapping out one ruling party and replacing it with another, usually by force, is called '''regime change'''.  This term can also be used more trivially to describe changes of [[sysop]] on [[large public wiki]]s but this is inadvisable, as it trivializes the horror and danger of real regime changes.  This is one of many reasons to avoid using terms like [[online community]] - we prefer [[Consumerium social club]] to refer to the people who patroll this wiki.

Dealings with a ruling party are particularly important to [[transparency]].  A major issue with [[Transparent Consumerium]] would be the vulnerability of anyone who had negative things to say about the ruling party's own [[common interests]] with itself, or with others globally, to revenge inside the country where the party rules.  For this reason, [[outing]] ought to be a very serious concern of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], since it might risk someone's life by naming them.  

[[Consumerium Troll]]s attempt to set the correct rules, i.e. those acceptable to the CGO, in advance of any serious situation, in [[essential projects]], by insisting on rules appropriate for [[large public wiki]]s, e.g. [[IP number]] in [[developed nation]]s that have [[human rights]] protections, and stricter [[anonymity]] in [[developing nations]] and any that has a serious human rights problem, like a [[rogue state]] presumably.
