You could be right, but we'll just have to agree to disagree. I believe the ONLY reason any one faction is able to garner the percentages necessary to sweep a category's nominations is precisely because of the small size of the pool of nominators. I don't believe any single slate could survive in a vastly bigger nominating pool. Namely because there would be factions and subfactions and infighting the bigger they got. So while a group like SP might be able to get A work nominated, I don't believe they'd ever be able to get the percentages needed to sweep a category in anything but the tiny pool they're swimming in right now. I just don't see any individual slate's influence scaling well to a vastly larger nominations pool where every faction (no matter how moderate or extreme) is welcome to swim. *shrug*
