Mining pool political parties?

[yokosan]

Curious if the separation of pools into political parties has started yet?

It's a win/win since the cut the pool takes is a way of funding the party you believe in, taking the blockchain in the direction you want.

The Bitcoin community has already fragmented into the anarchists seeking pure anonymity and the entrepreneurs seeking legitimacy through regulation.

Both sides could fund their operations with mining pools. Once the next halving hits I expect this to become the norm since the financial incentive will be reduced yet these people still have a desire to control the future of Bitcoin.
