I agree completely, I was just stating that parties with identical ideologies that do not have the attributions against the political beliefs of other identical parties would be merged. I.E the analyst would show the generalised goal of two parties which happen to be the same and it is also found that both parties are liberal or whatever they are, therefore those two parties will be encouraged to merge under agreed terms which benefits the merging party (the one joining the other) or both parties could remove their own parties and reform together as one major party. In summary, obviously parties with the differences you mentioned above will not be merged, but the ones that don't possess those differences or others will be merged to avoid any duplication or confusion during voting.
