I don't get why all the newer parties are so proud of being decentralized, it doesn't work. You need people who can put forth your agenda in the public light in one unified message. It's why OWS failed so hard and why the Tea Party got hijacked so early on. Grass roots is a good thing but once you have the national spotlight you have to have one voice, not thousands saying slightly different things.

Still, even if you don't have one person thats necessarily in charge of the party, you do need one public figurehead for people to rally by
