You can be sure the last thing they would do is cut their own throats by recommending any changes that would hinder that ability. I would venture to say that at least 1 hour discussion was spent on this subject.
Probably why the goons are against a mandatory voting system.

What the hell is this :
The Office of the Chairman: A ~chill place~ for constituent issues https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=29569
Could someone explain to this dbag that he is supposed to represent the entire playerbase and not the 5,365 alt accounts who voted him in. |

RubyPorto wrote: Per Wikipedia "An electoral district (also known as a constituency, riding, ward, division, electoral area or electorate) is a distinct territorial subdivision for holding a separate election for one or more seats in a legislative body. Generally, only voters who reside within the geographical bounds of an electoral district (constituents) are permitted to vote in an election held there."
A constituent is a member of an electoral district.
So he represents everyone. What he was saying was that he only represents the interests of those who voted for him. Nobody who ever was on the winning side of an election has ever asked the elected official to represent the interests of the defeated group. And given that there is no equivalent of a constitution to protect the rights of minority voters, they get screwed. Representative, Unconstitutional Democracy is like that. FYI: He won with around 6000 votes if memory serves. There are often 50,000 people logged in at any given time (and something like 200,000 active accounts). Not his fault that you can't seem to organize enough voters to unseat him.
He is not referring to his constituents as being the electoral district comprising every eve player. He is referring to HIS constituents as in the people who voted for him.

As it happens, the voice of my constituents is far louder than the OP's cry for help; that is why I am the Chairman. That I scam, kill, and gank and conquer are all reasons why my constituents feel that I represent their viewpoints accurately, and voted for me in the first place.
Nice try though. I can define things too :
Constituent : a person who authorizes another to act in his or her behalf http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/constituent |
