Fools!
Did you think the fair Miríel consented to her marriage? It was forced upon her by an exceedingly chavunistic society!
If there was any fault to be laid on the 'good guys,' it should have been on his father. It was Tar-Palantir who erred, not the jewel-daughter. He it was who failed to give the Sceptre to his heiress before his death.
Think about it; Pharazôn, despite his arrogance, despite his control over a majority of Andor (i.e., the King's Men), didn't dare go against the holder of the Sceptre. But Tar-Palantir, in having failed to make her daughter Ruling Queen before Mandos beckoned to him, started the terrible events that happened thereafter.
I'm sure golden boy wouldn't have gone against a Ruling Queen. But seeing the ambiguity after the death of Palantir, he took advantage of it to get the Sceptre into his grubby hands. Incest was not beneath him in his quest to obtain power.
That is why I wanted him out even before Second Age Survivor started.
I say it again, this time bolded in all caps:
TAR-MIRÍEL'S FATHER WAS THE ONE WHO FAILED; DON'T BLAME THE POOR LADY FOR HER PARENT'S FOLLY!
If you vote for her, then you support everything demented that Tarkalion has done: His overweening pride, his evil ambition to be Lord of Arda, his marriage to someone against her will and his act of incest.
SAVE TAR-MIRÍEL!
Oh, and I want
Gil-Galad's vote declared void.
