Something very unexpected to wake to this morning.
All I can say is 'it's about time.'
This should have happened years ago. Midular's inept domestic handling of many situations, even before the Defiants, and before I followed the Ushra'Khan out of the Minmatar Republic to conduct the fight alone with them, Midular made many mistakes and showed she did not learn from them. She gave in to the Amarr and gained nothing of long term consequence more out of fear.
Of course the Republic has grown since the days we wrestled free of the slavers. Or at least those of us lucky to have wrestled free...
Maybe moderation was needed, and bowing to pressure. But these are things to be used to our advantage in the long run, not to dictate the course of all our actions in the future without at least laying some ground work to allow us to stand tall and no longer be pushed around. This is what Midular failed to do. And this is what we need a leader to do now.
Malaetu Shakor is expected, or so it seems, to replace her as our leader by popular vote. I have always expected he would do well in this regard, and if it does happen then we will now see what he can do. And if not him, then whoever is called to the position. I never expected Malaetu to be the one to call for the vote of no confidence though.
It is indeed long overdue. The Republic has begun to ***** with feuding clans and Midular's incompetent handling of the situation makes me wonder how she could cope with the events happening in the whole of New Eden now. If those ships that turned up in Yulai really were Republic Fleet ships, it shows that very large factions of the military have also gone rogue under her leadership and the ever flowing stream of Minmatar leaving the Republic for the Federation for a better life continues.
I hereby declare support for Malaetu Shakor on behalf of the Second Shakor Clan of Matar.

Midular dissolving the Parliament is one thing. And a bad thing at that. It reeks of sour grapes at this stage of the game and further incompetence or political ineptness. Malaetu Shakor calling for her to step down with a no confidence vote is not a shot at the Republic, just the person leading it. It would not destabilise the Republic, it would usher in new leadership that would further stabilise what is already a breaking structure. It may not even work but it was not working with Midular at the helm either so what did we have to lose?
Seems now we have a greater deal to lose since Midular's so called 'decisiveness' is little more than a hissy fit.
But one thing that is completely intolerable is her removal of Malaetu Shakor from the government. She does not have that power. And if anything she has now directly added to the instability in the Republic that the vote of no confidence and new leadership was geared towards preventing.
Maybe this is a sign of some strength from her too. But it is too bad that this did not come a hell of a lot sooner, and she directed at the appropriate people.

Reads the same to me.
Emphasising that 'there are reports' does not invalidate them. They do not state the reports are unconfirmed. The other day I had reports that a member of the Vestiar family of my Clan had a bust up with clan security. It was a report of something that had happened. That is what people do when something happens, they report it.
As for Midular not claiming what crimes Shakor might have committed I would ask her what her delay was. If she is going to expel someone who just called for her resignation in a public manner like this she should damn well know to declare her reasons. Otherwise she either has no such information and is, as I said, throwing a tantrum with her power and pride, or she is stringing the situation along even more which right now is the stupidest thing she could do. Validating my sentiments that she is politically incompetent and at least adding to the confusion of the situation when she should be clarifying it.
In short, your highlights and emphasis changes nothing, honey.

So you believe that Security had to escort her from the scene under siege from angry parliament members, yet you want to wait for confirmation that the reports of Yun and Shakor being expelled are true? Why then did the parliament session break down I wonder... fewer bathroom breaks between sessions maybe? Yes that must be it, or perhaps lunch was burned by the kitchen staff and called off and Midular refused to put out for sandwich delivery.
In any case I do concede the point that the session was called short making for a lack of answers. But I cannot escape the fact that the timing is very suspicious. Yesterday Malaetu Shakor calls for no confidence, today he is expelled. You do the maths Elsebeth.

Sapph, Shakor is not a leader of any rebels any more, though spiritually he will always remain a hero to freedom fighters for his past actions against the Amarr. And he is not shackled from what I can tell as he has not been arrested by current accounts. God help Midular if he has been without any cause though.
But Elsebeth, you cannot claim all is well when Midular has violated the extent of her powers under Republic law. It is no good saying 'so what, he misses a couple of months' and shrugging when he should not be missing those months at all. Midular does not have the authority to remove him unless he has committed a crime.
I thought you were waiting to see what happens and for facts to surface before making judgements. Seems to me with your acceptance of Shakor's expulsion from the government that you have already made a conclusion.
