It is up to each null security coalition and carebear corporation alike to be wise and charismatic enough to garner the respect and interest of peers. This is the most objective and yet idealistic execution of democracy possible.
That certain regions of space repeatedly fail to organize themselves is no fault of those targeted by the voting changes proposed within the above linked threads. Changes need to focus on positive reinforcement for mature participation in government. It is inappropriate to step in and simulate the emergent gameplay null security organizations employ -- that is to say, competent political organization -- for high security residents.
Permit me to use a metaphor here:
The game developers, to my knowledge, do not halt or alter player ship manufacture output because there's too many of one hull and too few another for ideal economic growth. Supply is permitted to be influenced solely by player demand, and it is up to the player industrialists in the game to decide what is the best course for their business. You never see an in game notice saying, "The Drake you manufactured this morning is now a Hurricane to meet market demand."
Similarly, in keeping with the precedent set by laissez-faire developer management (rather, lack thereof) of null security space, wars, emergent gameplay, the market, and essentially every aspect of player choice in EvE, the best solution, CCP, is to stop what you're doing right now and walk away. The political process in EvE is completely emergent from player organizations -- that is, unless you're hiding a "Politics Overview" from us.
It is up to persons interested in making a difference to run for office and show intelligence and charisma fitting of a CSM member. The disproportionately small representation of high security space is not the fault of null security alliances; at kindest, their disenfranchisement can only be blamed upon themselves. Less kind: they've proven incapable of organizing themselves into meaningful political forces for seven straight years.
You aren't committed to anything yet. You can still just walk away from this. |
