Splinter Group

A splinter group is a smaller faction that separates from a larger organization or movement due to disagreements or ideological differences. It often forms when members believe they can better pursue their goals independently, instead of abiding by the main group's decisions or direction. Splinter groups can occur in political parties, religious organizations, or movements, and may differ in size and influence. While they can sometimes lead to further division, they also reflect the dynamic nature of organizational evolution as members seek to align more closely with their specific beliefs or objectives.
