I think we tried to go "too big" with the whole Raian defecting thing, plus stuff was getting convoluted with a bazillion different fronts: the Soul Fragments, Kraven, resurrected Wandenreich, the never-used Espada, "Noah the Prophet" and Ghengis Khan, Rosa and her Oni-cronies, etc. etc. etc.

I think we need one, specific opposition who is powerful enough to serve as an actual threat to the Gotei, while still being different enough from the Wandenreich and Espada invasion arcs. At the same time I think the Gotei itself, or whoever the protagonists are, needs one distinct goal to be working towards, so the antagonists actually have something to interrupt as opposed to "hey, let's invade those powerful guys over there. You know, for kicks and grins."

Personally I'm still partial to the Soul Fragment idea, since that ties elements in to the previous canon arc. As far as the Seireitei goes, it would be cool to do something like the first arc of Bleach, which is what I think we were originally shooting for with the "political" aspect of things. Some form of internal rivalry or dissention, which is still connected to the main antagonists and/or goal. I mean, obvious that's pretty similar to the first canon arc but... there are reasons why that arc was so good, just saying. That's my two-cent thought on the matter.
