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.

If a wiki is [[troll-friendly]], the [[trolls]] will gain rights and this forces [[sysop power structure]] to adhere to some [[social contract]] - the (trolling) [[dissensus]] has status alongside the (ruling) [[consensus]], and they jockey to influence bystanders.  ''Note that [[w:consensus decision making]] is the decision made only by those who are allowed to participate by [[sysop]]s.''

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.
