Yesterday, the Comità of the URL was informed by Baron Davinescu that one of his party's members had broosked a prospective immigrant by providing them with a biased description of the Progressive Alliance. While it is certainly fair to chalk this up to the inexperience of the member in question and their ignorance of Talossan ethical norms, it does provide a clear example of the obsessive partisanship which has become increasingly present throughout the country.

While we in the URL believe in a Talossan political scene in which open, honest debate on principles, methods, and goals should be welcomed and encouraged, excessive partisanship can easily corrode such an atmosphere. This incident provides yet another argument for a more personalized, less-partisan form of politics, which we will continue to strive for.

"Democracy is not a tearing down; it is a building up. ... It does not destroy; it fulfills. It is the consummation of all theories of government, the spirit of which all the nations of the earth must yield. It is the great constructive course of the ages." - Calvin Coolidge
