Time for a BLT

Day 826, 10:55 Published in Belgium Brazil by Rod Damon

In his letter, President Olv007 requested that Alliance voters allow the people living in eBelgium to be the sole deciding votes for the election.


"I would ask not to involve help from our alliance friends this time, to keep the voting fair by letting only the eBelgians vote that are actually in this country and that really care about it. No tactical voting, only vote for the person who you think will represent you the best in congress."


His comments reflect the truth that both Phoenix and EDEN forces have a sizable number of voters with Belgian citizenship standing by to influence elections.

I would like to go one step beyond what Olv007 has done. Instead of just asking for Alliance friends to stand by, I would like to call for a dialogue between representatives of both sides and begin a program that I dubbed BLT: Belgian Limitation Talks.

Similar in concept to what was done between the USA and USSR during the SALT talks regarding nuclear arms, I would like to have both sides systematically reduce their number of "tactical Belgians" Currently both sides feel they have to maintain a number of "Belgians" to balance the other.

It is time to make a change and secure the future where Belgium does not have to fear or rely on either alliance regarding its independence.
