The question is, how broadly spread is the lesson? If only the supporters of one pair of the three realize that its a choice, and the supporters of other pairs are not aware that they are being squeezed out when they are conned into supporting the third ... well, then the supporters of the other pairs will get squeezed out by circumstance independent of political balance of power.
