The Perils of a House Divided: A Call for Unity and Discipline within the Team Conti

By: Atty. Nick Conti

In the realm of politics, unity is not merely a virtue but an existential necessity. History teaches us that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Today, Team Conti faces internal strife, with factions threatening to unravel the very fabric of our unity. To safeguard the integrity, discipline, and effectiveness of our party, we must must take decisive action, including drawing clear lines and excluding those who seek to secede. After all, they were given notice and due process to remain with the Team but they disregarded it.

This concept of a house divided has deep historical roots. Abraham Lincoln, in his famous 1858 speech, invoked the Biblical phrase, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," as a prophetic warning about the dangers of a fractured nation during escalating tensions over slavery. Similarly, internal divisions within political parties can lead to disintegration, rendering them ineffective and irrelevant.

Consider the fall of the Roman Republic, a poignant reminder of the dangers of internal discord. The Republic, once a model of governance and power, crumbled under the weight of internal factions and power struggles. The conflict between the populares, who championed the common people, and the optimates, who represented the aristocracy, eventually led to the rise of autocracy and the end of the Republic. This historical precedent underscores the critical need for unity and the severe consequences of factionalism.

Modern political parties are not immune to similar fates. When members create splinter groups while still under the party’s roof, they undermine the collective strength and coherence necessary for effective governance. This divisiveness weakens the party’s ability to present a unified front, dilutes its message, and confuses its supporters. It is a slow poison that erodes the party from within.

As party leaders, we have a solemn duty to protect our house. This protection sometimes requires taking extreme measures to ensure the party’s survival and effectiveness. Drawing the line and excluding those who seek to divide is not merely an act of preservation; it is a demonstration of discipline and adherence to core principles.

Discipline within a party fosters respect for its leadership and adherence to its principles. It ensures that all members work towards a common goal, rather than pursuing personal agendas. This discipline is the bedrock of any successful political movement, transforming a group of individuals into a cohesive force capable of effecting change.

Moreover, the principle of unity is sacrosanct. It is the glue that holds a party together, enabling it to withstand external pressures and challenges. Without unity, a party is like a house of cards, vulnerable to collapse at the slightest provocation.

The lesson from history is clear: a house divided cannot stand. Political parties must prioritize unity, discipline, and internal cohesion to remain effective and relevant. Leaders must act decisively to protect their parties from internal invaders who seek to sow discord. By doing so, they safeguard not only the future of their parties but also the democratic principles they stand for.

In 2010, we built our house with a burning passion to serve and transform San Pascual. We cannot let our home collapse after enduring five grueling and heartbreaking battles (2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, & 2022), especially due to the ambitions of those who wish to see it destroyed. Our blood, sweat, tears, and relentless hardship have been poured into this cause for 15 unwavering years. We will never allow our house to fall, nor will we let the dreams we started with be shattered. We stand united, resolute, and unyielding in our fight to protect what we have built together.
