The President and his ministers

[Bassim]

Please, would you take a look at my sentence and correct it. I am not sure if my punctuation is correct.

1.The President and his ministers have become a clique, which has created its own rules and regulations, which have more to do with manipulation than just politics.

I cannot say there is anything wrong with it, although my own preference would be to omit both commas.

Well, as I have mentioned previously in response to other posts, I am a "comma conservative", and I use, hopefully, only when they contribute to understanding on the part of the reader. I also believe that, at birth, we are granted a predetermined limit on the use of commas, and I have a feeling that I am way over my limit. But on a more serious note, (there's another one) I think your first comma is OK, but I would delete the second and replace "which" with "that".

With the first, do you see it as essential information defining the clique or additional stuff added out of interest?
