Thalyssra's spot on reason for why the Nightborne are joining the Horde.

[united]

First Arcanist Thaylyssra: "I can see that the Horde has allowed you to uphold your traditions--something that is very important to us. We gain strength from our allies... but we have not lost who we are."

It makes perfect sense. In the alliance, every race is accepting, but they all have to conform to human standards. In the Horde, everyone and anyone can climb up the ranks and shine.

[Goremonger]

Shhh, you're going to awaken the sha of envy in the alliance.

Makes sense. As far as I have seen the leader of the Alliance is always the king. Not true for our side. Alliance reminds me so much of the Warsaw Pact.

EDIT: I should add Horde is NATO in my little analogy.

Addicts and trecherous backstabbers have indeed very much in common among themselves

They fits the horde perfectly

The Grand Alliance did not have a formal leader until late Cataclysm, when the factions leaders voted Varian as "High King" of the Alliance. When he died, it somehow passed to Anduin, which doesn't actually make sense. Anduin would have inherited Stormwind, sure, but you'd think the Allies would vote again for a leader.

Plot twist: it never left.

One that isn't the bitch of a has-been warmonger, perhaps. Really the only one fit to lead the Alliance is Velen, because even Tyrande is a child playing with dolls compared to him.

Even if they did vote again, who do they vote for? Their only leader worthy would be Velen and he would undoubtedly deny the position.

Well, they didn't. I recall even before that, though, back in the days of Warcraft 2 up until Arthas got Frostmourne, the original Alliance built by King Terenas worked as this Alliance of today does, with everyone from the different sattelites surrounding the king, who is the big cheese. So, as you point out, yourself, all you Alliance races, bend your knee to the human king. As long as the banshee doesn't step on our two toes, the trolls will continue to follow her. But if she does try to use the Horde for selfish ends... just as Vol'jin did to Garrosh, we will stand up and take her down. That's how the Horde votes.

I'm almost certain they did vote again, but chose Anduin due to his ability to listen to others and because of Velen's visions involving him.

Show me the ballots. (as in, show me the Lore)

Yeah...
That is why I love the Horde WAY MUCH better than the other faction.

I don't think one should be proud of a faction that allows the mantle of leadership to be so easily handed over to the likes of Garrosh and Sylvanas.

The other leaders of the Alliance at least had a say on who was chosen to be High King, apparently.

Garrosh was an excellent leader and did nothing wrong. Sylvanas is another issue.

Other than when it passed to his son.

The Sha of Envy is indeed growing stronger and stronger.

Which is rather funny considering all the times I've seen Alliance players profess how Nightborne are vastly inferior to Void Elves... o.O

Hmm.. why do we need a new thread for this? Isn't this basically part of :
