Are centralised parties defenceless against internal conflicts?

The discussion so far has exposed the vulnerability of centralised parties once internal conflicts evolve, especially in cases of elitefollower conflicts. I have argued that a centralised organisation lacks the mechanisms necessary to adjust to dissent among its members, and is therefore at a disadvantage when it enters parliamentary negotiations. When interparty negotiations induce intra-elite or elitefollower conflicts, members may be forced to leave the party or air their dissatisfaction outside the party, as their primary mechanisms for the expression of dissent. A centralised, rigid organisation-especially when confronted with the latter conflict mode-can lead to party disintegration when such a party enters serious coalition negotiations with other parties.
