Given the stated goal of 10 000 votes and 10 municipal seats, it is hard to describe the result as anything but a big disappointment. If we would have reached the goal, it would have still of course left us in practice powerless and as still a very marginal force at ~0.2% of the vote, but it would have substantiated the claim and sent the strong signal that the party and the nationalist movement really is on the right track to becoming a force to be reckoned with. Having failed in this, now is the time for some serious introspection and evaluation of what went wrong, what should have been done differently, and where we now need to go from here.

I myself take a very matter of factual attitude towards the outcome and am not at all that beaten down by it. It is what it is. The disappointing result should be seen as a feedback mechanism that tells us that we further needs to improve on all areas, and that we need to challenge all fixed, old, preconceived and in many cases outdated notions on how things should be done in the nationalist "movement" that still persist. On the local level we need to work in a much more focused way, and focus in on a smaller number of representatives that really can do the party justice and are up to the task.

If and when we become a strong and mature enough force, ready and capable to face the turbulent times that undoubtedly awaists us, I'm confident the votes will eventually follow.

Still, this is a 6X+ increase since 2010's elections 681 votes, so it is not by any means a total failure. We have many positive things going for us, including a new alternative-media infrastructure and an ability to reach a large part of the population unfiltered thanks to the internet that would have cost the equivalent of uncounted 10s of millions of $ of economic muscles to uphold just a decade or so back.

I'll return with more comments on this at a later time.

Don't despair, the white man struggle is a marathon not a drag-race.
