    It's not that they can't vote, it's that they get nothing else to vote for but The Party.

    That mechanic is what's letting them succeed.

    Rather than winner-take-all elections where Party B spends 4 years unwinding everything Party A did in the last 4 years, the decisions can be made inside a party framework built for continuity.
