I Cannot Forsake My Principles
The reformation of Iron and Wine is a black day for democracy in the eNL. The decision to revive this toxic brand, so synonymous with graft, cronyism and oligarchical governance, was taken after the Establishment's preferred CP candidate failed to win the forum primary. Rather than abide by the still intact diktat (which they originated) that the victor of that vote contests the in-game election unopposed, they circumvented the rule of law in a manner that would have been treated as an act of treason, had it been carried out by an unnetworked citizen.
So our nation now has two right wing, Old Boy operated political groupings, offering the electorate a choice of beige or black. This must not stand. These developments make clear more than ever the need for the formation of a progressive, libertarian party, to speak for the silent majority of our eSociety.
I hereby call on the agents of progressivism to form a party dedicated to restoring the primacy of the individual citizen and committed to the eradication of the power abuse, intransparency and enforced centralisation of economic resources that have blighted our benighted nation these past months.
The Old Boys have had their day in the sun; let's now build a new eNL, where the light shines on us all.
Sincerely,
Pierre Delvaux,
Concerned Citizen of the eNL

Of course, I support your call for a progressive eNL. I'm going to write an article on the happenings of last night and why I&W was restarted. I was there and agreed with it.
Its strange for somebody who is calling for several weeks now that we need an second party.
Then some players put together some money and then because its not ur kind of party u go do a slander campaign.
Thanks,
Atleast we know ur still the same.
The nagger network strikes again.
Nothing changed...
Isnt it a healthy situation for the country to have several parties?
I was planning to vote for the VN candidate for the reason if fairness, but this mud barrage makes me overthink that.
I'm all in favour of multiple parties, Flando, but I object to the appalling cynicism of the OBN, who relaunched I&W solely because their candidate lost the forum vote.
Good article, voted
@pierre thats also what I thought at first, but the truth is rather a bit more complex really.
Great article!
Indeed mister Delvaux, eNetherlands is desperately in need of several progressive reforms.
The Old Boys have had their days in the sun, indeed. It's time for a new political movement in eNL, a progressive movement, for unity, change and solidarity!
Count me in mister Delvaux!
Call it whatever you want, it at least made the opposition a bit organized.
As a long-time(but never very active) member of I&W, I have to say that I&W has always been an Old Boys' Network, with the oldest, most experienced members who have done and continue to do the most for this country.
And now these most experienced members have gone to I&W, including (hopefully) our next CP/VP, I actually think VN will become the opposition xD
