No, not really.  What is politics?  It is how people organize themselves and put order into how they interact with each other.  The type of "national" politics you are thinking of is just that organization carried out in such a way as to bring order a large number of people.  You can't escape people wanting rules to govern how they interact with each other.\n\nPolitical parties are groupings of people who think the same way about the rules governing interaction and who want to take steps to change those rules.  Such groupings are not only inevitable but a good thing.

Political parties serve many purposes.\n\nThey gather people around issues for which they share a general consensus.  From that, they hone their position to create their party's political platform.  Their platform is where they stand on the issues, like abortion, federal spending, defense, etc.\n\nPolitical parties are also the vehicle for raising money for the candidates.  Members of the same political party can campaign for one another, so this strengthens the party when they win and get control of the House or Senate.

Both are corrupt, rich, and bow to lobbyists.  I dont think any one party is better than the other.  Its more of a matter of getting sick of the corrupt policies of one party, then giving the other guys a chance to corrupt the system in their own way.

Some politicians pick their party based on what party is most popular at that time in order to get elected.\n\nLater, after they have established their power base, some switch to what they really believe. Some switch later on in the event their party is no longer the popular party because they want to stay in power.

All members of the committee should be allowed to attend (but not participate) in the "executive session" of a subcommittee, according to Robert's Rules of Order. Attempting to establish a secret cabal under the guise of committee structure is definitely a no-no.

A meeting is formal and should have an agenda. A discussion is less formal and is usually not agendized.
