One theory is that [[neutral point of view]] is really a [[systemic bias]] (in [[large public wiki]]s, 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 bias]]es. In other words, they insist that the [[community point of view]] deserves no special status as a route to truth. | One theory is that [[neutral point of view]] is really a [[systemic bias]] (in [[large public wiki]]s, an [[editorial bias]]).

From these roots a civilized '''two-party system''' develops. Formal [[faction]]s in and out of these two parties jockey for control of the [[consensus]] and the [[dissensus]] within each party. Eventually, when the [[factionally defined]] terms are clear and distinct from the core [[glossary]], a true [[multiple point of view]] system evolves, and a [[trusted bureaucracy]] implements the demands of the ruling party - which only rules for some fixed period of time. | From these roots a civilized '''two-party system''' develops.
