Two-party system

Revision as of 22:30, 3 March 2004 by 142.177.92.200 (talk)

One theory is that neutral point of view is really a systemic bias (in large public wikis, an editorial bias). This is resisted by a New Troll point of view that refers to it as groupthink or just bogus or a product of individual biases.

As Trolls gain rights and force sysop power structure to adhere to some social contract, a two-party system develops. Formal factions in and out of these two parties jockey for control of the consensus and the dissensus. Eventually, a true multiple point of view system evolves.

By this theory, Wikinfo is a more advanced Wikipedia, which under this theory is quite early in its evolution.

See w:two-party system for historical examples of this in politics.
