Guide to decency
Well, I am back to eUK. As you may remember, I tend to write heavy
and thought provoking articles, with lots of hindsight, well, here you
are this one.
Recently, some parties in a rather prussian junker-ish style have
decided to remove others from some basic rights: the right to be heard and to
hear in the common house of democracy ( aka parliament).
For many of you, young and naughty enough that can be a 'joke' or
something 'irrelevant' or simply 'well deserved'. Well, this article
tries to restore that basic 'democratic decency', the right of keeping
basic rights regardless the opinions or wishes of selected
illuminated.
As Sexagenarian has tried to prove, being invaded by another
nationality is far less serious than a dark black-out over basic
rights and principles.
TUP is rather prone to such attitudes, even if, sometimes are just
good intentions, as the road to hell. Sometimes, the means cannot
override the principles, and you cannot set a dictatorship to save a
democracy. TUP, among other sins and virtues, has a poor record of
respecting others rights and, frankly speaking is a bad example,
worse, a powerful bad example.
That's all, join WRP, it's been a good party. And simply, don't bear
bad manners or misbehaviours, any of them, change of party or country
(or game), but don't get used to unfairness. You deserve something
better for yourself.

"As Sexagenarian has tried to prove, being invaded by another

You miss the point. It is like walking up to a tiger and punching it in the head, and the tiger bites you. Being bitten by a tiger is worse than being punched, but there is a causation there which places the blame with the initial punch not the bite.
If NE wasn't inviting people from enemy countries into the eUK with the express purpose of causing chaos, then people wouldn't be shouting so loudly to impose a draconian kind of order, because there would be no need.
If the average eUK citizen had something to lose then I might agree with you but no one has so far produced any evidence that a PTO will change anything other than the people in congress and the alliances we are in. That has no effect on the average player so trying to undermine the simplistic democracy in eRep is certainly a greater evil than PTO.
Maybe if the government was doing something for its citizens like spending its taxes on the population or reducing all taxes to a bare minimum then I might change my mind but opposing a PTO to ensure the pitiful excuses we've had for government in the last year, where the average citizen is always last in the pecking order, is simply not tenable by anyone that doesn't have a vested interest in the status quo or an ulterior motive.
As far as I know since you've joined the game you have never volunteered to help in any government. You have never worked in any way to help anyone but yourself. Those who do those things are chosen for government. If you want more say over your future, I suggest you actually do something instead of just whining like a child.
Or maybe I should follow your example and move to another country for my own selfish reasons. I can then expect people to do what I say even though nothing that eUK does will really affect me
This is a good insight. Even if there is a PTO it is irrelevant to the average player.
As Alanis Morrisette once sung, "Isn't it ironic?"
