Suntou, thanks for hauling this bull called tribalism in our politics by its horn to be dealt with in the open as we shape our future.  I'm currently tied up but will sneak in shortly to provide installments on the issue.  I will deal with the party leaders, but more so, the force behind them and their tribalism or lack there of.  If the individual party leaders are tribalist, at most you only have five or six folks.  On the contrary, if their supporters exhibit the same desire, then you have a national problem.  In other words, Hitler was a Nazi alright, but the bigger story is the Nazi affiliation of the rest of Germany and their sympathizers.
