Yes but my point was that the price you demonstrate would have little deterrence effect on the practices you wish to stamp out because the price is delayed, and not at all obvious that it will occur.
Say looking into the future to weigh the possible effects for the ally of this round's conduct upon next round does occur in a dealmaking situation and features prominently in the calculus of whether to do whatever deal is in prospect. Then the deal-maker considering these long term effects would have to think about the opposite possibility whereby an alliance that did not make deals and thus suffered for being on the wrong side of politics might result in an equally serious loss of membership. One could point to p3nguins atm.
