Anyway, interpreting the phenomonon fo re-opening nominations as a result of tenured members of the community dictating their will to the region is a bit of a stretch. Having been in both regions, I can confidently say that tenured members of both regions are frequently in disagreement about many issues. This is just simply the voters exercising their democratic prerogative against a weak field that they are not satisfied with. Sometimes tenured members feel inspired to step up and run themselves, sometimes it'll see less experienced candidates putting their hands up.
Thank you for the insight. To be clear, I don't think that RoN is a result of an oligarchy running TNP and Euro. At least in TNP, the level of suspicion levelled toward raiders of any affiliation these days is the very obvious cause for a RoN. I'm not informed enough to really make any strong statement about the state of NS democracies, beyond disagreeing with Joy about why Raiders might think there's trouble brewing
