You've now got a band... most likely with one very strong leader who decides the course and laws for everbody else. Reason being? There is only one guy in the world who is assured to win a knife fight... and even he is screwed if he's facing two people with a knife.

I just had a flashback to what Hobbes wrote in The Leviathon in what you wrote above. Even the strongest of guys can be taken down by an angry mob.
Also, I am now witnessing the feud of rich owners, Cablevision vs Fox over how much Cablevision should pay Fox for carrying their programming (end result is all Newscorp programming, except Fox News, has been pulled). In this, both try to win the favor of the masses, with Fox whining that Cablevision makes too much money (and says they gave fair offers) and Cablevision says that Fox wants more than double they are paid now. In the end, I am supposed to care about how rich owners divide up the pie? I would expect, if they could both of them would be trying to get politicians in their back pocket to make the other side comply.
