Deindividuationally speaking.

Kinda weird, isn't it, that certain politicians would be raising public ruckus over their partisan aggregation being omitted from what they perceive to be its rightful lot, yet, in their own little sphere, they themselves refuse to let their subordinates any room to breathe? Weird, yes, but scientifically explicable, as most weird events are, for, as Princeton Professors, Jenifer R. Lightdale and Deborah A. Prentice described [in their 1994 treatise "Rethinking sex differences in aggression: Aggressive behaviour in the absence of social roles"], when a person is deindividuated ---placed in a situation where he or she doesn't have an individual identity--- anti-social attitudes are amplified rather than curtailed. [See: DEINDIVIDUATION in http://home.student.uu.se/t/thni9583/pp/8/lightdale94.pdf]

Now! We are a People's Partnership comprising five parties, yes? To look good and or perform effectively, Terpsichore demands that we must dance in concert with one another. For as long as we comprise five and not one, two, three or four parties, our ballroom performance cannot be a pas seul, neither can it be a pas de deux, nor, de trois, nor, de quatre! On no! It has to be a pas de de cinq, nothing more, nothing less! Thing is, like with any dance, the rhythm to which the artistes move must not only be danceable, but audible to both performer and attendant audience. However, the classical rule is that the hand that pays the piper, calls the tune!
