strangely, i think the OP might have a point. (then again, i only read the first sentence.)
whether that point actually means anything, is another matter. |

With the way game mechanics forces those in NULL to have to organize to survive means they'll have an overwelming organizational advatage even though the majority of Eve does live in HI SEC, then NULL then LO SEC then WH's ( I'm not sure but WH population may be overtaking lo soon if trends continue, guess we'll see what Dr E says @ Fanfest if the demographics are still the same or WH's have overtaken lo population after the FW nerf) .
Voter apathy is part & parcel to the game mainly due to mechanics which naturally fragment the largest populations of EVE but still it doesn't have to mean CSM's votes have to only garner <20% of the electorate to vote. Do yourself a favor & vote even if its only for 1 or 2 slots & not the whole 14 slate. Darth is absolutely correct. Whenever you read a post from someone trying to persaude you not to vote, as yourself: Who benefits if you don't vote?
easy, the people you weren't going to vote for if you'd bothered to fill the ballot in. |

part of me hopes they don't vote. have you noticed most of the dumb ideas that pop up on the forums are from high sec players and/or npc alts?
not that null sec players don't occasionally come up with stupid ideas, but not so nearly as frequently as high sec players. |

That's mainly because they use their high-sec alts and npc-corp alts to post them, lest they reflect badly on their image in the alliance hierarchy.
fair point. |

No different than politics / politicians in real life...
you say that like the ~elites~ are the only ones able to vote.
perhaps if you went and voted they wouldn't have the CSM all to themselves.
stop complaining about a "problem", when you're part of it. |
