Um, no.  I was its founding member, and Zefram and I formed it because
collective groups (e.g. political parties, partnerships, subdeals, alliances
etc.) are an interesting part of gameplay but were legislatively out of 
favor at the time (if we'd just introduced them through proposal, they 
wouldn't have passed).  Bringing them in through the back door with full
powers of players led to a legislative control, but not a ban, and now
they're an active part of Agoran life.  The PP itself voted a couple times
and dissolved fairly quickly afterwards.
