[1]
A Deteis man with Jin-Mei features dressed in formal Gallente robes stands in front of a backdrop that composes of an orbital view of Gallente Prime. He stares outside for a few moments, before looking at the camera
I come to you now, above the skies of Monipuolinen, not as a capsuleer or 'demigod', but as a simple human being. You know the blunders; the assault on the man at a certain establishment for a tasteless comment on a personal bereavement, amongst other things. It doesn't get as impulsive, as careless and as foolish in terms of our humanity than that.
But in light of such vices that make me just as human as you, I have the same virtues. Empathy, compassion, a sense of justice and an insight that a certain other cannot hope to gain in his lifetime. I've seen the wider universe...I've been raised in the community around you now...with such a grand scope of everything, I know how the workings of the world can affect you and me, and the Principality as a whole.
He pauses
Look around you, Monipuoliners, what do you see? You see your city, town or village so full of rich history, dating back to Prince Jacques Newnham himself under the great vassalage of the mighty Garoun Empire. But what else? You see depravity, decadence, dishonour...disgust. Our state has been turned into a cesspot of immorality, thanks to the leniency and inaction of our current governance.
Gangsters of the worst kind hold you at knifepoint, as you go to work...shop for groceries...drop your child at school. And -he clicks his fingers- it could be gone, just like that. But why isn't it? Because two-thirds of district funding falls upon the unneeded, unnecessary construction of New Monipuolinen. Where does the other third go? Do I even need to tell you?
Another pause
A lot of you are...'concerned' over my history...but to that, I remind you of what I have done for this country...for you...since then. As a marine, I fought against the ever-destructive Serpentis in the depths of nullsec. On Caldari Prime, I worked alongside my comrades to save countless lives against the bitter freeze that took hold of where I was stationed. As a capsuleer, I've headed out to the frontlines to defeat the warmongering Provists who threaten our freedom. I've had thousand of lives under my guiding wing as I keep our secure space safe from the numerous pirate threats that lurk in deadspace.
Are we like the barbarian Heth, and his Provist thugs? Do we start wars and kill hundreds of thousands because of something that happened a century ago? No. We are the Federation, and we look at the now and future for the good of ourselves, each other and for all. But what future lay ahead for Monipuolinen on its current path? The rest of the Federation lives free from the fear of crime, yet where do we stand? Does our community have that little hope?
Of course not. Freedom from fear is there waiting, but only if you make the right choice. Together, with the power of democracy, can things change. Be apart of that. Vote for a brighter future for Monipuolinen...for you.
Make the choice.

Tyrants and good leaders will say the exact same things, more often than not. The difference between them is that what the former mean is "for the good of me" whereas a good leader means what they say.
One should never be so afraid of oppression that all leadership, no matter how good or well-meaning, is rejected out of hand. The quaint old phrase is "throwing the baby out with the bath water". A guiding hand and a sharp mind at the helm is more often than not a force for good, no matter how much bleating you and the other anarchists may produce to the contrary. - Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain. |

Particularly interesting in that it 1) distinguishes capsuleers from simple human beings and 2) suggests that he might come as a demigod at other times.
At least it's an improvement over claiming to be a flat-out deity.

Edited by: Imiom Ravena on 09/07/2009 11:39:19 Ah! Very Good, this speech contains all the key elements of Gallente politics.
- Well defined use of Ego. - Belief in self superiority. - Blaiming the Caldari for everything wrong with life in the federation.
Personally, I think the Gallente system of government needs to be scrapped, and perhaps soon enough - the Caldari Militia will be allowed to revitalize the Gallente in such a way - providing they are allowed to drive their campaign further into Gallente Territory.
Perhaps when the Gallente make the choice to surrender, they can then focus on their own flaws. Maybe even fixing some of that problems that candidate Inhonores mentioned.

It strikes me as particularly indulgent that the candidate would berate a foreign government, claiming, or at the very least implying that this foreign entity is one of the dominant reasons his electorate lives in such squalid conditions. However, I'm not all that surprised that Mr. Inhonores chooses to run a campaign based on low-brow attacks when the alternative is to run a campaign based on the hard truth that his electorate have themselves to at least partly to blame for the conditions they face.
Though I'm disappointed by Mr. Inhonores's tactic of using Caldari and corporate boogeymen to frighten his electorate into voting for him - and to give them a reason to doubt the significance of their own apathy when it comes to addressing and solving their problems-, I suppose he's just following in the footsteps of other, more illustrious Gallentean politicans.

Oh, I disagree on two accounts: 1) Senator Mentas Blaque 2) The majority of our government (if you could even call it a government) is made up of corporate executives and CEOs acting in their corporations' best interest. Only recently has their been a move towards overall nationalization of almost, well, anything.
Research is an important tool if you want to appear anything but ignorant.

So this Gallentean populist is drawing from the same fonts of power as the 'despot' he so despises? That's an interesting idea to mull over.

Originally by: Melichor Duraldi Also how is his reply more meaningful if I may ask?
It's pretty simple:
He's Caldari. You're Gallente.
Criticism of the Dictator is expected from you. When people are criticizing a Gallentean politician, and perhaps Gallentean politics generally, no one is going to think it's either particularly surprising or profound when you say something like, "Well, you're just as bad-- actually, you're worse; you did it first! We're just reacting to your barbaric, nationalistic aggression." They'll just figure you're trying to do political damage control.
Criticism from Verin, as a Caldari, is a bit more notable. He's not trying to tear the State down; in fact, with one memorable lapse, he's been a steadfast State supporter, if not a supporter of Heth. He can be made to look like a traitor if you squint at him really hard, but generally speaking he's the sort of dissident who gives dissidents a good name.
You come across as an enemy pointing fingers. He comes across as a principled dissident, the sort of person who acts as the State's conscience.
It's the difference between a sneering insult and an introspective moment.

Ahh thank you for the clarification. I wasn't aware that I had become Gallente somehow. But I guess with the recent hostilities between our parent nations it should be expected. I will take comfort though in the fact that not all capsuleers are as racist.

some follow up questions if you please.
If elected, what policies will you champion and which will you challenge?
What is your stance on the old Intaki Separatist issue?
Being a Capsuleer comes with a certain notoriety. Do you feel this would hinder or assist your action once elected?

You weren't aware that you'd become Gallente?
Leaving aside the point that you're Gallente in the same way I'm Caldari, you presently self-identify as Gallente. It says so right between your name and your corporation under your portrait (you can turn that off if you want to, you know).
Racism has little to do with this, however; it's a matter of apparent political allegiance. Or would you say that criticism of the Federation by Archbishop would be taken as seriously as a critique from a loyal Federal citizen?

Well, it's a relief to see that the Luminaires voters are ready to forget most of Mr Inhonores recent... blunders. On the other hand, given the other rumours I've heard, and in light of the more recent Scandal on Intaki, I can't help but wonder if they're not orchestrated attempts to divert voter's attention away from other issues, like the fact your spent most of the early campaign involved with a known Caldari-friendly corporation...

Mlle. Hudson, you are mistaken to think if DUTY. are still State-affliated. They are most definitely neutral, at least when I was with them. This is the requirement of a mercenary corporation with their stature.
Originally by: Tomahawk Bliss Well spoken sir *applauds*
some follow up questions if you please.
Thank you for the support, M. Bliss, and most importantly thank you for the questions.
Originally by: Tomahawk Bliss If elected, what policies will you champion and which will you challenge?
The most important issue currently is the current crime rate in my ward, which is excessively above the national average. In order to challenge this, corruption will have to be rooted out, and the police will require a boost. Moreover, living conditions are poor and district funding will need to be routed to the correct avenues for improving this.
A more district-wide concern is the current Leviathan in orbit around Caldari Prime. This needs to be removed by peaceful means optimally. The sovereignty of Caldari Prime needs to be negotiated, especially considering the fact that half the population of the planet are of Gallente origin, and most likely more than half have Federal citizenship. The imposing of the State on these people, regardless of race, needs to be addressed. The evacuation of Federal citizens is one solution, for example.
Originally by: Tomahawk Bliss What is your stance on the old Intaki Separatist issue?
As a representative within Luminaire and not the wider Federation, there is not much I can do regarding this issue, as it is focused around Placid. However, separatism within the ward and district will not be tolerated.
Originally by: Tomahawk Bliss Being a Capsuleer comes with a certain notoriety. Do you feel this would hinder or assist your action once elected?
The pod is a marvelous creation that allows me to be at many places at once, and process thousands of bureaucratic operations in a second. Moreover, as I have mentioned, it allows me to travel the stars, and see the wider world and learn how it affects the people of my ward, and Luminaire itself.
Thank you again for your questions, M. Bliss.

As a one-time Duty. pilot myself, I'll support Mr. Inhonores' statement there: Although my time with Duty. involved flying with the State Protectorate, more recently the corporation has dedicated itself to honourable mercenary work without a corporate political bias. In fact, such a drift away from State affiliation was my primary reason for quitting them and forming ForgeTech.
Ms. Hudson, I would suggest that you're the one who should be paying more attention to keeping your facts straight. - Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain. |

Please elaborate further on this. Is it accurate to assume from this statement that you would use all your powers as an elected offical of the Federate Government to prevent sepertist ideals being spread in your area of power? Would it also be safe to assume that those who wish to leave the control of the Federation within your area of influence would feel the full weight of your power to stop them from doing so?
In a secondary but linked question what are your views on the Thukker migrants that pass through the area you would be in defacto control over? What, if anything, would you do to encourage them to leave your domain? What, if anything, would you do to encourage them to accept the ideals of the Federation and stop them from allowing Intaki, and other Federate citizens, to board the vessels of the great caravans and leave Federate control; effectivly transferring thier citizenship from Gallente to Thukker?
Lastly please tell us, in as much detail as possible, your views on border control and the ramifications you expect from whatever your policy is to have on the trade and migration levels in the area you are competing for.

From Lum. General Julianus Soter's office of public affairs, 7/14/111:
Today Luminaire General Julianus Soter gave a speech on behalf of a third party candidate in the Monipuolinen district elections, Dr. Anatole Monpillier.
The text of the speech is as follows:
"Today, ladies and gentlemen, we stand in a unique age. We bestride two eras... and humanity and the Federation has within it the capacity to reach new heights. The present crisis and matters along our borders is a concern. We should work to every possible end to reach resolution and end the bloodshed that is wastefully wrought with no strategic gain. Our nation should strengthen it's fronteir to ensure nothing like the Invasion occurs again... but we must also strengthen our ideals and fortify our resolve to liberty and the freedoms that made us great.
There are other, prominent candidates in this campaign. But merely because one is an incumbent or another is a capsuleer doesn't mean we should favor them any more than any other candidate. Our public officials hold a sacred duty to the Constitution, and they must have the utmost of character. They must have an understanding of our laws and institutions... and they must mean what they say. They cannot be distracted by frivolous matters, lest they abandon these duties.
Today, I support Mssr. Monpillier as the candidate with true ideals, a sense of service and dedication to all the peoples of our beloved Federation. His actions, and not merely his words, are an example to us all.
Let us focus on matters that truely concern the peoples of the Federation, and vote for Mssr. Monpilier and his platform this election."
Julianus Soter then conducted a fundraiser dinner on behalf of the campaign. He was seen chatting amiably with Mssr. Monpillier and his wife at the event.

Shouldn't an individual attempting to gain a position of power within any of the various governments be in a corporation (or alliance), whose goals are more directly aligned with that government?
I am sorry, but would it really be wise for the people of the Greater Monipuolinen ward to elect someone who is a member of a Republic aligned organization?
Does said membership not indicate a larger concern for the Republic over the Federation?
I know I don't like someone firmly part of an Empire aligned organization claiming to represent the State. But maybe the Greater Monipuolinen ward consist largely of Matari immigrants.

It is a pity that Mr. Soter himself is not running. I initially disliked the man, before I saw beyond the rough exterior to the heart that only desires the best for his nation, and for the cluster, without a belief that his way is the only way.
I will not say that I endorse his candidate of choice - a representative of the Nation supporting someone could well be the kiss of death to their aspirations, after all - but even though I often disagree with the man, he is worth listening to.
The Gallente should strengthen themselves. Stop looking outward for targets, and begin looking inward for rejuvenation.
