The weakness is people with no conception of internal party discipline.
It does not mean members should bow their knee. It means having the knowledge that there are many enemies outside waiting to take advantage of internal divisions. Other parties do not fight silly little battles in public. The people who let minor (and they ARE minor, no matter what the trolls here say) internal issues be used by the enemies of the party are guilty of giving the enemy ammunition.
The reality is many members of this party have no knowledge of what goes on in the other parties and how they deal with their difficulties. The secret lies in knowing that whatever the failings of any of our members and officials, the REAL enemies are those people on forae like this and in email lists that want nothing more than to see us fail for their own purposes. They will agree with anything you say to cause fractures in the party and call for resignations to pretend to support you but their agenda is to destroy us.
I say again. Don't feed the trolls.
