MK has a good deal more spinal fortitude than the sort of folk you seem to be used to. A quick glance at the history of the alliance attests to that if you question it.
You're really grasping at straws with this year old issue - yes, MK did have an unpopular (within, especially) raiding policy and no, it didn't last long. We had no reason to fear being "rolled" for it, and we didn't ax it to satisfy the imaginary external pressure you presume. When a policy of ours (say, sticking by our partners [what a novel idea]) comes under fire, we have never been ones to back down because Cybernations told us to.
And thanks for the horn tooting but MK was not the embodiment of what the UjP stood for. I would say that was GOONS. Apologies to fellow MK'ers who feel otherwise
