Yeah, the system in place right now has the perks of being transparent, representative of the Voters but not of the population . Which is pretty much as it should be.
If you want things to change then get the people to vote, not complain that those who did failed to vote for you.
Going back to the original concept that being at the bottom of a power block ballot would somehow ruin the candidates chances please re examine the last election and the cfc ballot.

Advocating for CSM reform is in the context of my platform apolitical. You don't need to be a veteran eve player to understand that my allegiances are to my own values. My corp history is indicative of that. When I say that I want to "Change" Policy I am refering specifically too the CSM whitepaper.
As referenced before the CSM is not at any point during campaigning required to tell the truth. They are also not prohibited from "buying" votes. The extreme of this being spending real life money to buy eve accounts ahead of the deadline for the sole purpose of padding the voting process.
It's very easy for opponents of my platform to ask "how would you solve it".
What I think they don't understand is that the CSM is not 1 person with absolute authority making decisions on what to do about the game.
The CSM is a group of people consulting with CCP and advocating collectively for changes and ideas they feel are important. Asking me in any specificity how I would "fix" or "solve" a problem assumes that any 1 person can walk into the room, press the right button and all will be well. My platform is incongruous with any mentality that a single person should without oversight be able to make a judgment call and subsequently execute the consequences of that judgment.
The flaws in the current voting system not only allow for such outcomes but incentives them.
This looks like a no win situation. If you get elected it proves the system does work (contrary to your premise) and so the reform would not be needed. If you are not elected then your premise may or may not be a fault but you will be unable to do anything about it.
We have made the White Paper a living document to allow for changes to be made, year by year as the CSM grows/changes/evolves so if elected you are welcome to try for election reform but as you said, above, you cannot walk in and push a button, you will need the cooperation of other members of the CSM and of CCP to effect any long lasting changes.
Politicians can lie? Well, yes they can and probably do. Me, I like Twains thoughts on truth http://www.twainquotes.com/Truth.html but others may have their own way of doing things. You can rail against the process as it now stands but in the end, X, you have to win or lose by these rules as they are.

The first half may be accurate, I have a lot of doubt that the latter part of the statement is provable given secret balloting.
