> The party itself is closed and self selected.

Isn't that how all parties work? If you accept ideological opponents of a party in then the party will just collapse. There has to be a process to make sure that new members of the party agree with its core principles before they join. Which is to say, the party has to be closed and self-select members.

If a party just lets any person join then there isn't any point to the party.
