User blog:Thewritersdiary/Possible Jasper/Bellamy Power Struggle?

Back in Mount Weather, when both Clarke and Bellamy were absent, Jasper arguably became the remaining hundred's leader. The simple fact of the matter is that Clarke and Bellamy just weren't around and they needed someone to follow. They chose Jasper.

I think that there could be a possibility for a power struggle between Bellamy and Jasper in the coming season. Ultimately, I think the majority of the hundred will follow Bellamy, but Jasper still might make an attempt eventually. Right now, I think that he's still in shock and has a mixture of disappointment in Clarke and Bellamy and sadness over Maya's death at the same time. However, I'm guessing that at some point, some of that sadness is going to be translated into anger and resentment at Bellamy and Clarke. Clarke isn't exactly around to aim it at, but Bellamy is.

Like I said, I think that Jasper might make a move at Bellamy, but their people will continue to follow Bellamy anyway. The reason why is because Bellamy still is their leader. He was the one that got them out of Mount Weather, not Jasper. And the only reason Jasper would be angry with Bellamy is because his choice personally affected him. The other delinquents don't have anything tying them to the people in Mount Weather, despite the fact that some of them helped them out briefly. Still, I don't think their connection is strong enough for them to actually rebel against Bellamy. Hell, their ties to Bellamy are certainly stronger than they were to the few Mountain Men that helped them so they'll probably be able to overlook the things Bellamy and Clarke had to do to save them.

In short, I believe that Jasper will stand up to Bellamy, but next to no one will back him up so his attempt won't work. Then he will go back to moping. Thoughts?
