Everyday I’m shoveling

To repeat my statement made in the first paragraph of my first article, this is my own newspaper, in which I write my own opinion about current affairs. I do not have nor claim to have an official GPN post other than coach. Making my articles in game not representative for the global opinion of GPN. To paraphrase this for Auggy: GPN has nothing to do with my articles.
Now this is clear let’s start a nice article about the presidential elections of this month and I fear upcoming month as well. The Netherlands is divided into two camps, GPN and DemNL, I&W CLN and RAF. It is normal for one party to offer some empty promises in order to get support from another party, that is just how it works in real life as well.
However I do wish to express my concerns about the current state of affairs. The actual presidential candidates for this month are Luuklag and Mr.Sphere. I personally believe that Luuklag has the same potential as a brick, but that is my own believe and I will not put full focus in my article on this matter. The actual affair I wish to talk about is that I&W and CLN are playing a dangerous game, that in real life is very visible in the USA. Making a statement that one will support the others candidate in the upcoming month and then vice versa, is dangerous. We might reach a status quo here in our very own country. In which one side refuses to co-operate with the other, in which all the statements made are blocked by the other. The opposition will be rough and it will not be easy for one side to actually achieve something.
This will last for at least two months, maybe even longer if the hatred between these two sides has grown in these two months. Even better this has already started. The reason I am not in congress this month has been expressed in my previous article, the Boneheads do not allow any opposition. The behavior on the congressional grounds has turned into some childish mud throwing competition in which Boneheads and Swingers alike point their fat fingers towards one and another. This is what this break up is all about. The Boneheads, the more experienced players, maybe you should consider them your grumpy old grandpa, he tells you a story and does not allow you to ask questions, they are trying to take control and not allow newer players and a fresh new wind to enter our country. On the other hand the Swingers, in most occasions can be considered some lazy ass kid, try to intervene and seize their share of power in the Dutch political grounds.
Both sides have now put forward a person who should lead this country. And yes I will here confess a color, I find Mr.Sphere the more potent one. As I found Luuklag disrespectful on more than one occasion. Also I fear we might lose democracy when we fall under Luuklag’s control. But on the other hand it is visible that Mr.Sphere is a fresh one on these grounds, as he fell for the trick of I&W and CLN creating this status quo.
I wish both sides good luck in the presidential elections.

Perceptive analysis, which I largely agree with.
Some, not all your observations doesn't make sense, i will give some constructive arguments concerning CLN.
"The Netherlands is divided into two camps, GPN and DemNL, I&W CLN and RAF. It is normal for one party to offer some empty promises in order to get support from another party, that is just how it works in real life as well."
That CLN belongs now to a "camp", or stands only one side, simply isn't true. We made some agreements based on program points with the only party who was open for it, this has to be said too, to be fully honest, even Pierre must agree with this. The results of this deal are already visible in congress debates, we can only say that we are very content with this, and hope we could work together with the other parties in congress to implement them into policy.
" In which one side refuses to co-operate with the other, in which all the statements made are blocked by the other. The opposition will be rough and it will not be easy for one side to actually achieve something."
Also this isn't true, CLN will be ready to cooperate in congress with all the other parties. Also here we will look what will be best for eNL as country. Beforehand stating that, as you describe it; "one side" will not be willing to work together with "the other side" won't be an active policy within CLN, and how we will deal with other parties in congress. Making this conclusion beforehand is a bit too early.
"But on the other hand it is visible that Mr.Sphere is a fresh one on these grounds, as he fell for the trick of I&W and CLN creating this status quo."
Let's be honest too, MrSphere also plays the game on the same level "until" this moment. The result of the "CP candidacy procedure" or call it a game, is a results of talks and to be able to make concessions and see how to gain support from another party, and how to create in a respectfull manner a CP program others can support too. In this perspective you may call MrSphere inexperienced for the CP job.
Shakerr are you sure you read the same piece of text I wrote? Your third argument is in my conclusion?
Furthermore I wish to add that your second point is bollocks, to say it lightly. CLN works together with a party that has "jij doet niet meer mee" in it's party programm, as a spearpoint. So dealing with others, will mean that this party will deal with the devil?
@cureofthought, i'm talking about my own party, you should better read my arguments. The last question you ask me is a cheap one, and i won't go down that path with giving qualifications to other persons/parties. What's the point of suggesting that two camps exists and won't work togeter with eachother. You want to suggest this only in light of the CP campaign, while you can't say this beforehand. I can only made clear that CLN won't exclude or block others for to make their own points, if those points are good we will embrace it.
I guess you're right about most "boneheads", but on the "swinger" side are also some people one couldn't describe as kinds, or even teenagers. Some of them are parents. I talking about GPN now. And that makes GPN the best party to lead this country. We are not out to get the power, no, we want to share it, and give everyone a chance to learn and grow.
I really wish other oarties would do so too, and we'd all work together. Because, frankly, this country is to small for these kind of pollitical feuts.
@Shakerr I am wondering, you wish to work together with others, this is a good thing, nothing wrong with that, don't get me wrong. But I&W brought this campaign up and since they are ought to be the ruling class in this country, this may be reconsidered.
@van Spijck I said in most occasions, if I look at GPN it is fun to be in it, but if the stories are true about people that reach a government position and do nothing with that, than they could be considered lazy ass kids. No offence ofcourse.
@cureofthought, Then i am glad you recognise and agree with me that there aren't two opposite and seperate camps in the political landscape in eNL.
Great article bashing respected people once again. What have your contributions been in the eNL?
Spot on with your political analysis and good job in creating a political landscape that will help build a strong community where respect for other people and their beliefs may flourish 🙂
Also you have the potential of a dildo 😉
How nice of you to take the word fresh for inexperienced...
@shakerr, I fear that if that is the case you should reconsider your current standing in this affair.
@auggy, I also am fresh or as Luuklag would prefer it to say, inexperienced. Also I do not see how your latest action have contributed to anything but two hate campaigns, but I guess I am wrong in that one.
Also I thank you for calling me potent 🙂
I liked the beginning but then it rapidly declined in yet another attack on Iron and Wine.
