Look at his post and get a sense of what kind of candidate he would be, he isen't serious about saving high sec from anything, its propaganda. It isen't broken and no one wants to undo the changes CCP made to high sec.
Bolded point 1: I have actually engaged in a rational discussion with him. He does not care about the economy. At all. If it burns down because it is built on how stagnant the highsec part of EVE is, well that's just a problem endemic to no-risk-low-reward philosophy inherent in highsec. A great deal of minerals come from highsec. That's because it's the easiest place to get them. There's no reason to go to lowsec for literally the same minerals, if you will have an actual risk of losing them if you go there.
Point 2: He's trying to change the stage of the game. I'm hesitant to use the word 'stagnant' any more as a descriptor, because otherwise it will lose all meaning. Furthermore, he has stated actual plans for altering lowsec and nullsec to make them worth going to. Rather than save highsec, I think he's trying to save the game.
Point 3: They don't. The New Order (through minerbumping.com) exists solely as a channel to illuminate the real issue- People are so expectant that EVE is basically a single player game that they should have no risks in doing anything in, that as soon as anyone so much as breathes on them, they will start flipping out. Which goes to show that with stagnation (There's that magic word again) players will become complacent and refuse any kind of change that could be imposed on them.
Point 4/5: Yes. That's the entire god damn point. Highsec is broken. Look. If people were actually going elsewhere for minerals and selling them on the market to industrialists, then there wouldn't actually be a serious effect on the market from New Order activity. And it seems that since they started up, costs of things have increased. What does that imply? It implies that far too much of the economy is built around how cushy highsec mining is.
