I'm probably thinking more of some organization where if a 
discussion went off scale, something would happen, like a vote on 
the 3 main protagonists.

If those 3 were not willing or able to get together and come up 
with a compromise, then the status quo should prevail until W/A 
decide otherwise.

Lacking some compromise of that sort, D just becomes Balkanized. 
It did, and it recovered, but I think it sets things back.
