No hope left

I can hold little hope of any good coming from the Gallente Federation. With Jacus Roden as the new president, I fear that the only course to a free Intaki will be a bloody one.

Roden secured a majority of 58.7% of all votes cast, but that did not include, of course, Intaki or any of the other occupied systems. His election is invalid and he cannot in good conscious be considered a President of the people.

His stated goals are primarily to take back Caldari Prime and the Luminaire System. Typical Gallente pride, to take back something that wasn't theirs in the first place while ignoring real and pressing matters in their own back yard.

Aguard received just over 30% percent of the vote, but some analysts believe that the votes of many frontier worlds excluded from the election process due to the "No Vote" law may have significantly increased Aguard's share of the vote and denied Roden an outright majority.

Without a nullification of the election from the Supreme Court, however, this is all just supposition and conjecture.
