I hate all the alliances equally I wish there was a betrayal mechanic I wish I could be a merc or something and play for the highest bidder

None of them espouse any sort of political reasons that would make you feel as if once they were Emperor(ess) they would make things better for Tamriel as a whole. How many of them share their plans for what they want to do once they ascend the throne?
The Altmer arent doing it because they want to set things right for all but because they want to return to the glory days of the Aldmer and Aylieds. But they cant even agree among themselves how to go about it. A large enough portion of the population doesnt feel the other two members of the alliance should be equal partners and were powerful enough to threaten Ayrenns claim to the throne. Even after defeat there are clear indications that it wouldnt take much for the Veiled Heritances return and victory over Ayrenn. The Bosmer are just following suit because the Altmer have quite a bit of political sway with the Bosmer. And the Imperials are putting quite a bit of military pressure on them to do anything to defend themselves. The Khajiit are one of two very alien races that would otherwise be on their own without the Altmer...They surely wouldnt be allying with the Bosmer without the Altmers involvement, even with similar circumstances involving the Imperials.
The Bretons and Redguards are in it because they are powerful enough and rich enough to throw their lot in for the throne. High Rock has a history of succeeding from the Empire, and not being loyal to the throne. Would Emeric and his heirs sitting the throne change this? Would they not find another reason to succeed again? The Redguards are noble warriors but off the top of your head. Can you think of any really noteworthy events in Tamriels history that revolved around the Redguards the way Tamrielic history has been impacted by other Men races and even Mer? Theyve always just been there but not really deeply involved like the Nords, Altmer and Imperials. And the Orcs are only in it because theyve been promised their ancestral lands returned to them. Whats the chances theyll stay committed to the cause once Orsinium is fully built and Wrothgar is no longer in a state of emergency because its a fledgeling nation? Why back the two races that has time and again sacked your homeland after you have gained what it is you signed up for?
The Ebonheart Pact is born out of necessity and will likely not survive the Three Banners War. The three races are all enemies of each other that have nothing in common culturally to bind them. In less than a generation when the impact of the Akavirii Invasion has begun to wane and will be no longer easily observed or remembered. Will the three races still be proud to proclaim "Blood for the Pact!"? The Nords will likely stick true to their convictions and continue to support the fight in Cyrodiil as they have a long history of doing so. But the Dunmer are just as dubious when it comes to loyalty as the Bretons. The Dunmer are too set in their ways, influenced by Daedra, to remain as they are in this Alliance. It weakens them culturally to do so. The Telvanni saw this and refused out right to join the Alliance and the Dres has recently shown signs of working to undermine the Alliance and their false gods. How long before the other houses begin to question their involvement? And the Argonians....The poor Argonians are canon fodder. Theyre simply there to fill the ranks. Just ask the tribe in Valenwood what happens when you dont ask how high when the EP tells you to jump. We all know very well how long the freedom of the Argonians will last.
None of them are my favorites because none of them seem to present a better future for Tamriel with them sitting the throne.
