Firstly, democracy is ludicrous.
Secondly, I can't see how what has occurred is in breach of it.
Formendacil warned he might adopt more stringent criteria for vote inclusion if he felt like it. He has now done so. In his position, admittedly, I would have revealed the criteria, but what's done is done and we shouldn't muck about with evictions. I speak as one who mourns the loss of the valiant, atypical King Oropher, and would have tried to prevent it had I not been enjoying a very fine supper.
Besides, as long as you include Tolkien-based rationale, you're alright. Seems simple to me.
Persecution of Elves is no longer demographically justifiable on the slightest of grounds. The Elendili hold the lead easily.
Rather than breathing new life into the
Amandil campaign, (because I appreciated that defence of him earlier) I wish to examine a new candidate:
Elendil himself.
Look at his overwhelming arrogance!
Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta
"Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world."
Says who? He clearly doesn't know about Elessar XIII getting turned into a frog by Alatar in the Fifth Age...
Seriously, the man's bombast and presumption is far more staggering than Ar-Pharazon's (who was merely fighting the age-old struggle against overweening Valar Nanny Statism).
What this fellow is doing is landing-as a refugee, an immigrant seeking asylum-in lands held by fellow men.
There are two ways of dealing with being an immigrant.
The
Parsee way, where you put yourself at the disposal of the local government and form a useful part of the existing community.
And the
American Colonists way, where you declare the land yours and cripple the existing cultures.
Elendil, as his words show, clearly employed the second. Because of some notional Eru-given right, he drove out the indiginous "Twilight Men", ancestors of the Rohirrim, Dunlendings et al., forcing them to submit to vassalage under him or Sauron. Do not forget that many of these were Edain, just Edain who'd chosen to resist the Valar-coddling enterprise of Numenor! And all were Men! He should have respected their existing rights.
You damned
Gil-Galad for far less (for no reason at all, as far as I can gather) when his tribe was in no especial dominating position.
But these Elendili are now running the show.
These genocidal interlopers must be stopped.
Alliance, League, whatever, just vote
