As the oldest NATO member state Egelion expresses concern that this organization is ruled by nation (Lodamun) where constant silencing of opposition occurs.
Among the violations to democracy there are:
Calling for new elections every year, despite electoral term being 6 years. The reason is to get elections before opposition can gain any visibility and explain its point of view to citizens.
Low proposal quotas, the lowest on Terra - so that opposition has no chance to explain or participate in legislation process.
Both of these activities are against the major principle of democracy - competitive elections where everyone has a chance to explain their point of view to the public. Thus ensuring public needs are best served.
When are the next elections for the chairman?
OOC: First of all Opakidabar, keep IC and OOC separated. Visibility is not an IC issue. It's game mechanics. In real life, parties that have been in a country for a long time, have expressed their views already. So, I ask you to refrain from making that kind of statement. If you want to argue against my policies in Lodamun, I don't care. Just do it in a fair way. Second, and most importantly, we discuss these matters at our regular meetings, not here.
Visibility is IC issue. It is a real world issue and it is a reason why Russia is ruled singlehandedly by United Russia. Opposition simply can not get a say.
OOC I have nothing against your policies in Lodamun I have used 1-5-72, but I never remember that I would ever did that with reasoning of being IC democracy. However I have done this and issued populistic lies as if I was democratic. There is a difference.
The most important does not hold simply because this is org page, I see it as page for our HQ, Egelion diplomats are working in NATO HQ and issue statements to other diplomats. Normal communication channel for NATO related stuff that is not related to leadership meetings.
