Tony Blair Scandal

== Overview ==
The Tony Blair Scandal occured in September 2019, when a failed plot by Third Way party leader Frid and Fascist/URP leader Acrid to overthrow bot.org as leader of the Social Democratic Party was revealed.
== Background ==
In the days before the attempted coup, new SDP leader bot.org, who had become leader following the ABB Scandal, had been working to close the rift between his party and the democratic left, who had split off the SDP after calam!ty claimed ABB had rigged the previous leadership elections (which ABB narrowly beat him in). However this eventually lead to the death of the democratic coalition (of SDP, lib dems, greens and the third way). However fridericus rex wanted to keep the coalition together, so attempted to remove bot.org from his position, with the aid of acrid.
== Events ==
=== Before the election ===
It was repeatedly alleged by user KingSepron that the users were alts, but these allegations were repeatedly dismissed by, among others, owner ABB and SDP leader bot.org. Sepron alleged that the users odd activity times, seeming coordination and use of public use images, as well as young account ages, meant the accounts must be alts.
=== Leadership election ===
The leadership election was held on 07/09/19, and was won narrowly by bot.org, after the other candidate, Star of Africa, dropped out to support him. Frid used an alt account named Tony Blair to run in the election, and was voted for by some of his other alts, and alts belonging to Acrid. 
=== The Reveal ===
It was revealed to bot.org and the public via calam!ty, who had proof of the illegal acts. Tony Blair was kicked from the party, and other alts were searched for an removed. An investigation was started by the admins, which found acrid and frid guilty of many different rule breakages.
== Aftermath ==
Frid was muted for 3 weeks following the incident, and acrid for 2 weeks. Frid claimed that some similar incidents had occured before, and that many party leaders had large networks of spies and alts, however none of these were ever proven. The SDP continued to drift left, and remained in their joint lists with the Democratic Left and People's Union in the next elections. Bot.org remained SDP leader for over a month after the events were revealed.
