If 'Party politics' respects the human condition, it will not create 'antagonistic divisions' in democratic ideology.

The basic underlying premise of a democracy is the human condition; in whatever Race, Color, Creed, or Life-style it expresses itself. The verbal distinctions usually made about the human condition are never 'basic' to the condition itself. Usually, the distinctions relate to 'property ownership', 'possessions', 'money', or simply 'class'. Actually, the Bottom line is, humanity is 'pretty-much' the same, anywhere one goes, or looks. People are People; human beings are all equally human beings. No one is 'less' human than another. Governments are 'artificial constructs' designed to 'govern' or, in some cases, to 'rule' human beings. Political Parties are 'further sub-divisions' into different ideological 'leanings'. Of course, the 'differences' should be a difference in 'view-point', within the same governing ideology. But even that artificial division, becomes contaminated, by the 'tendency', of the 'politicians' to become greedy and to use their 'political advantage' for 'self-aggrandizement. It seems that some People, in positions of Power, don't respect the 'Other', nor do they consider the 'Other', as Free and Equal, as they consider themselves. That trait may be a 'human trait', among most Peoples, but 'most People' are not acting in positions of power. Politicians are 'Representatives', and they must act as such. Public Office, as such, is a noble task. Being a Representative, to 'help govern' Millions, is no small undertaking. The problematic creeps in when a 'Representative' begins to exploit the position for 'personal advantage', or for further 'accumulations' of 'Party power'. Political representation should be a 'selfless task' and yet, its in politics where one can 'clearly' discern the failings of the 'human condition'. It may be that 'human failings' loom large in the political field, but we cannot ignore the fact that any choice made to participate in Public Office, will always be 'accompanied' by a 'scrutinizing public'. Differences in 'Party politics' are usually differences in political ideology. But, there are no differences in the human condition. Everyone is 'politically free' and 'equally human'. The basic reason for that is that politics is about 'artificial, political constructs' and Freedom and Equality are as 'real' as the 'human condition'.
