I don't know that one, but since a Party is nothing more than a group of 
people trying to uphold the words on some piece of paper somewhere, I don't 
think there's too much one can do with that. That is, a Party's rules don't 
have any bearing on the rest of the Game, because they're not in the 
ruleset. If it would make people feel better, I can always make that 
explicit. Would that help?
