United in defeat...

Well, the party president elections are over and currently in the process of being checked by Plato, but it looks as the the eUK's ATO measures in PTOing New Era was successful without any other party being taken over.

In many ways, the whole affair was a victory for the eUK in so far that it will be harder for NE to import more Serbian PTOers this month. Of course, care must be taken come the next congress elections for the leaders of the top five parties to make sure that no NE-Serbian plants get a seat.

Thumbs up should be given to all of those who participated.

However, it many ways, this month also represents a kind of defeat. A defeat in the context that it really became necessary. New Era has always acted outside the spirit of the game in some of their actions to try and become the rulers. The whole TACO election fixing plan was one thing, but activity participating in a foreign PTO of your own country is several miles over that line. There were those who said the PTO of NE should have happened last month, but there were those who wanted to "er" on the side of caution and gave NE the opportunity to stop importing Serbians before it was too late. Obviously this didn't stop and the action became necessary.

So yes, the eUK community was successful in removing the cancerous head from NE this month, but this wasn't really a victory and should not be treated as such. Sure, the eUK community should give itself a pat on the back for its ability to unite for the common good, but gloating is somewhat inappropriate.

For the common member of New Era, this month's actions needs to be seen as a liberation that was planned and not seen as an invasion as I am sure the likes of BA and Dapper will try to imply. It might be necessary to do this again next month and it will be important for those in NE to appreciate the reasons why it was necessary and not see the wider community as an invading enemy.
