If you were the leader of a far right political party, how would you discipline it?

A cool idea I think we can borrow from the Left is the Leninist Principle of Democratic Centralism. What this means is that the Politburo (as in the Soviet Union), would have the usual debates, and then vote on a solution. The result of this election is final, and nobody is allowed to contest it, as is common in parliamentary democracies. This prevents Factionalism within the party and keeps it unified. It was violation of Democratic Centralism that got a lot of the Old Bolsheviks (mostly Jews), such as Zinoviev, Bukharin and Trotsky expelled and dealt with accordingly.

Also obligatory insult for you Salos: I'd call your Mother a whore, but the poor old bird had enough shit heaped on her for birthing you.

The right also has a similar principle, Command and Obedience.

But Democratic Centralism is a way to codify it into Party Policy. Command and Obedience are values to which we obviously adhere, but these values need to be enforced in some way. Not everybody has them as gut-instincts. Every movement has it's share of opportunists. Think of implementing Democratic Centralism as a 'Legal Measure'. It means we would actually have a written rule to point to when it comes to factionalism instead of just saying "Shut the fuck up and do as your told."
