Non-Partisan Political Parties: Already Exist or Logically Impossible?

[Boojatta]

7. This sounds too rigid to me ...

The purpose of political parties is for like-minded people to work together to elect people to office. If you take away the broadly similar ideological outlook of the members, then there is no reason for a political party to exist.

Consider science. A dedication to scientific methodology doesn't require automatic disagreement with every hypothesis that's in conflict with prevailing scientific theories.

The problem with ideology is that ideas in logical harmony with each other might be in practice ideologically incompatible because every ideology might exclude at least one of them, and ideas that logically contradict each other might be ideologically compatible with each other.
