With script-based DRep credentials, a group can register a single DRep governed by a multisig, so a vote only goes on-chain once M-of-N members sign. That quietly turns a solo DRep into a party: shared platform, pooled voting power, an internal threshold before anything is cast. Some of this is already happening, formally or not.
Btw: to login into DrepTalk it's enough to be one member of the party. (membership proof, not key-ownership)
I'm really keen to learn:
- Who is coordinating right now, and how?
- If you ran a multisig DRep, what would you actually need? A space to debate the internal vote before signing, a way to track who signed and who dissented, a public record so delegators know how the party decides?
- And the uncomfortable one: does formalising into parties just import the worst parts of traditional politics?
- Where is the line between healthy coordination and a bloc?
