Unlike previous party congresses, there were few leaks, no petitions, no open letters to leaders and few rumours, innuendoes or heated exchanges on social media.
The party proved to be in firm control of the situation. This mechanism provides checks and balances that ensure bargaining and compromise in the decision-making process — but it does not allow for quick and decisive actions.
