but no more so then would be unusual for our system.
So how about you do your usual thing and we'll do ours? Have we executed any judges lately?
Did Shakor take a physical shot at Midular?
No.
Did Midular have him arrested or executed?
Nuh-uh.
So political action is bad when we do it - but murder's okay when you use it?
Wait, I forgot. Your imaginary friend forbids you to judge others by the same standards you judge yourselves by, right?
Just askin'.

Hang on, I must not be getting this right. In one breath you acknowlege the use of, mmmm, wet politics - but in the next, condemn the sudden removal from power of a number of individuals as a bad, destabilizing force.
In one of these methods, the ousted can work to get their jobs back with enough popular or political support. I'll let you guess which one...
Moreover, while I think she did it wrong and kinda backwards (citing reasons first generally prevents people from attributing them to you), there are mechanisms for the dissolution of Parliament and selecting its replacement. Or do you have an official protocol for sanctioned assassinations..?
If i took a potshot at your ima- faith, well, i guess i got a bit sick of hearing "barbarian this" and "i can't think of a more creative insult that," so sorry. Wasn't applicable to what you said. Couldn't resist. You know I have these little lapses...

Small correction on your description of the Republic, though: The prime minister is chosen via an election, not via the Voluval.
I'd actually maintain that the PM is chosen in part by the Voluval. How many prominent Minmatar are there who have "bad tattoos", after all?
You might as well say the PM is chosen by the weather. If you're struck by lightning and die, you'll never get to be PM...
While it limits the field - and I'm not, by the by, in any way a supporter of this superstitious exiling of "bad tattoos" - it's really no different than any other social injustice, like being born poor or a slave: either of these will also quite likely affect your chances of becoming PM, while obviously not "choosing."
I smite you with the Trout of Semantics.

True, it is no different than any other social injustice. But that really is the point, though. It's an additional social injustice that doesn't exist in the State. I mean, honestly, are there already not enough of these sorts of things, that the Minmatar need to create some more?
Well, we tried soul-crushing uniformity and a rigid wealth-based heirarchy, but we really like putting pictures on our faces and hanging out in tribes, so we did it this way instead.

Or possibly just her grip. We'll have to see what she does next...
