Do you think we should even have political parties when George Washington didn't seem to like them?

Answer 1

political parties are a bad idea i have to agree with Washington.

Answer 2

I think it's important to remain neutral and independent when it comes to politics. Aligning yourself with a party is often picking the lesser of evils. Parties are vital to lawmaking when the party members work towards common goals but, as with any group, not everyone in a party will agree with all points that the party stands for, which is where the philosophy of parties fails.
