10.01 legislative
cohesion
- For 1950-56,
AC1.
- 95 for 1957-62,
AC3.
- No sources give specific
information on legislative cohesion. However, from the
basic ideological orientation of Toure and the PDG it can
be inferred that cohesion in the legislature was probably
high.
- 10.02 ideological
factionalism
- 3 for 1950-56,
AC5
- 2 for 1957-62,
AC5
- There appeared to be a
loose doctrinal division in the BPN of the PDG--those who
leaned towards communism were necessarily anti-western
and had strong pan African sentiments. Others had more
moderate views including positive neutralism and a
tempered pan- Africanism.
- 10.03 issue
factionalism
- 1 for 1950-56,
AC3
- 1 for 1957-62,
AC5
- Score for the second
time period based on factionalism in the early sixties.
Opposition to Toure began to grow among those groups that
had once been his most ardent supporters--veterans,
women, students, and young people. Veterans were upset
over the pension question, while many intellectuals
participated in the so-called "teachers plot " which
revolved around a proclamation which was critical of
Toure. Women were upset with the extreme demands made
upon them by the PDG.

large-scale party purges in the PDG.
