Those who reject pluralism find even open party rivalry anathema
Evidence
Parties bring political conflict out in the open, but in the historical transition from cabal to democratic institution, open partisanship is no tonic for those who loathe political pluralism. For holists of every stripe, the regulated rivalry of parties, the notion of a loyal opposition, and the institution of contested elections are all anathema. — Russell Muirhead and Nancy L. Rosenblum, A Lot of People Are Saying, 198
