Political subgroup (7)

I believe the answer is:

faction

(Other definitions for faction that I've seen before include "Dissenting group - drama documentary" , "Small united group within larger one" , "Act on if for a small group within a larger one" , "part of party" , "Seeing political dissenters" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
