However, since the reforms of [[Isnet O’Niall]], this conception has been reversed. ''Planoarita'' politics today manifests through the centralization of state power within the party, with the party’s structures becoming the arena of democracy and participation instead. The RNP sees this system and itself today as the “gatekeeper of democracy” - allowing within its organization the flourishing of a “democracy of tolerated ideas” while those intolerable are left outside with no influence over the machinery of the party-state. The hallmark trait of this “democracy” is the party’s quadrennial open primary elections - where any Capetian voter is invited to vote in a free election for their district’s RNP nominee to the [[National Stanera]]. | However, since the reforms of [[Isnet O’Niall]], this conception has been reversed.

Since the adoption of the current form of ''Planoarita'' politics in the party congress of 1993, a variety of RNP factions have decried it as revisionist and a betrayal of Kalma's original framing; criticizing it for making permanent a temporary stage of the phased plan and leaving no open road for the decentralization of power from the party towards the intended multi-party system. Supporters view it as a further development of Kalma's ideas, with it allowing for the development of a vibrant political culture while preventing the instability of the [[Multi-party period of the Federacy of the Cape|first multi-party period]]. | Since the adoption of the current form of ''Planoarita'' politics in the party congress of 1993, a variety of RNP factions ("democrats") have decried it as revisionist and a betrayal of Kalma's original framing; criticizing it for making permanent a temporary stage of the phased plan and leaving no open road for the decentralization of power from the party towards the intended multi-party system.
