> The reluctance to let people register to vote is understandable, if your allegiance is to your party before your country.

I think many concerned believe that making sure their party gets elected - no matter how - is allegiance to their country. It's internally consistent if you genuinely believe that the other party seeks to destroy your country, and therefore is to be opposed by all available means.

It becomes even more problematic when one of the political parties view compromise as a part of its ideology and the other doesn't. One side is politely fighting and the other is waging a guerilla war.
