Abstract: We investigate the effect of bias on the formation and dynamics of political parties in the bounded confidence model. For weak bias, we quantify the change in average opinion and potential dispersion and decrease in party size. For nonlinear bias modeling self-incitement, we establish coherent drifting motion of parties on a background of uniform opinion distribution for biases below a critical threshold where parties dissolve. Technically, we use geometric singular perturbation theory to derive drift speeds, we rely on a nonlocal center manifold analysis to construct drifting parties near threshold, and we implement numerical continuation in a forward-backward delay equation to connect asymptotic regimes.
