You missed the last few months of Thaecian politics, which underscored the need for some major change in the region. Independents were elected left and right, often with pathetic amounts of votes (2 in many cases...). Once in office, many politicians proceeded to do absolutely nothing. We have an activity crisis in the legislature, a staffing problem in the executive, and a court that's mired in procedural muck.

Granted, there's been progress towards fixing some of these things, but there's still a lot of work left to do. NTN's goal is to not only address these problems, but make the legislature actually fun to be in through interesting RP legislation and expanding opportunities for nations to get involved in the region. Obviously TCU and NM have different ideas, and that's good. If we have opposing views then we'll be able to have some spirited debate in the region, get people involved, and even attract new nations. But I don't want to sink back into a malaise of inactive legislators and a dispirited executive.

Independents have a place in our politics, but parties do too.
