The problem in TSP is pretty simple. There are political blocs, and so there are political enemies. People pick fights with their enemies, no matter how silly or serious the subject matter is, because their ultimate goal is to topple them.

I don't think there's anything we can do to "fix" that. I don't know if creating political parties is a good idea, because there are a lot of leaders in this region, and not very many follows. I also don't think the political culture is willing to be that open. People prefer to keep their agendas secret.
