For those of you who don't know the eUK government want the UKPP and the Royal Navy to sever ties and become two independent (they can still cooperate much in the same way as they do now) units. That being said there is much resentment and ill-feeling, particularly in the UKPP.

Sir Nick Griffin, current UKPP vice president, stated earlier that "[the] Government's plan to strip [the] Royal Navy from The UKPP is ludicrous. [The] RN has always been UKPP. Why change? People are leaving because of it!"

First and foremost, as Mr Knee said "The RN hasn't always been UKPP" and looking at the UKPP and the Royal Navy wikis in conjunction with reading History of the Royal Navy and The UKPP confirms this. In short, this is the second incarnation of the Royal Navy and it was formed on the 27th of January 2011, some 10 months before the UKPP was formed... As far as people leaving are concerned the only record I've found of someone leaving is Jamie2721.

It's clear that there is much disagreement about the right course of action, in opposition to Sir Nick Griffin's views WayneKerr commented earlier that it's "time for the Royal Navy to swim free..." and Mick Cain, current Royal Navy commander and UKPP member, said that he was "for the RN to wallow in the swell or sail full steam ahead for a greater future? I'm for full steam ahead." Furthermore it is clear that this feud could lead to, and possibly even is already causing, problems in both the UKPP and the Royal Navy. My feeling is that it's this that can, and will, lead to people leaving. Before he left earlier Jamie2721 commented earlier "think it's time to move to another party. Good luck UKPP", so far he has been unavailable for comment as to why he left, but, perhaps, the most obvious interpretation of his statement would suggest my theory is correct.

I think what we all need to remember and focus on is that we are a democracy and therefore we need to plan and allow for the views of the many, rather than just those of a few. Furthermore we need to do what is best for the eUK as a whole, remembering that the eUK is bigger than either the Royal Navy or the UKPP.

So maybe it is time to bite your tongue,

to zip it,

and focus on the fact that we need to think of and do what's best for everyone.
