Minor faction (8,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

splinter group

(Other definitions for splinter group that I've seen before include "Faction broken away from its parent organisation" , "Small breakaway faction" , "Small organisation broken away from a larger one" , "Dissenters who leave" , "Breakaway movement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
