To keep out "wolves in sheeps clothing", any candidate would have the power to say, among the other candidates who share their chosen party label, which ones they do not consider to be allies. I think those dynamics – free to "join", no guarantee you won't be shunned by the people who already have "joined", but the binary shun-or-not choice should help prevent cliques of gradated power – would be relatively healthy.

Is there a risk that candidates could use the disapprovals to run under false flag? (by disapproving all the true candidates of their pre-announced party)
