party spirit
Collective festive energy
Party spirit is strong loyalty to a political party or faction, especially when it leads to bias or partisan conflict.
The term often carries a negative connotation, suggesting that allegiance to one's side overrides fairness or the common good: The debate devolved into party spirit rather than reasoned discussion.
It can also describe the general mood of enthusiasm within a group: The delegates arrived full of party spirit.
