I suspect that the only vote that will prove to be important in the coming elections is Jacus Roden's. If he decides that it would be best to serve for another term, then he will be president for another term. If he decides not to run, he will not be.

Yes, that was - in fact, the meat of my post. The only likely change is that Mentas Blacque comes from behind the throne and the Kingmaker becomes King.

Something tells me you shouldn't hold your breath for any sort of vote, Liam. It seems democracy is out of style in the Federation, these days.

I wouldn't be so certain of that, Commander Tuulinen. The voter-eligible population of the Federation is something upward of 16 trillion individuals. The capsuleer population within that population is less than 1%. It's entirely possible that we simply aren't seeing the advertisements and campaigning we normally see because the politicians have decided it is better for them to keep us out of the loop.
I hope you're right. Stability works for both of us, right now.

I've got a thing for good Civire, so I think I can work something out with the State. Got a thing for good Brutor, too, so Republic diplomacy'll be just fine. Got a sweet spot for Thukker (Who doesn't love a vagabond in a Vagabond?), so we'll work out some trade deals. If Ishukone can get someplace that serves a real fried Caldari seafood buffet down there, then Caldari Prime'll get all worked out.
Don't worry, boys. This is easy. I've got it all under control.
This is prepos... Inconceivable... Completely ridic...
Actually, it's strangely compelling. Redhead for Senate YC116.

The record will show that I worked out she'd make a decent leader BEFORE this speech. Empathy, people, it works.

I heartily endorse this gentleman's statement. Wrap your lobes around THAT concept.

Perhaps they feel they are being treated unfairly? It would be unfortunate if we had to leave another garrison there.
This deal keeps getting better all the time.

It's not even true to say that only the Gallente practice democracy. The State does too,with the difference in how the mandate to vote is given out.

I'm a Kaalakiotaa stockholder and citizen. When the decision was made to oust Heth in favour of Oritsuu-haani, I know that my shares were part of a block of proxy votes that weighed in favour of Oritsuu-haani. I fail to discern a difference between a vote for Megacorporate CEO and what you term the holder of a public office.

Pieter, The cornerstone of democratic theory is notion of the "state" only being a facade maintained by the collective will of a vast conglomerate of equal and independent individuals. In order for something to be considered "democratic", rather then merely republican, each participant in the society much have an equal share of power, and also be considered equal under the rule of law. Which itself is only mandated by the will of the majority, too. The Federation aims for those ideas (well, most of the time) wheras the State does not. The very founding idea of meritocracy is that some peoples voices matter more than others, and that the individual follows the lead of the state, rather then vice versa.
Right. I thought democracy just meant voting for things. I mean, it's only very recently in the Federation that it's worked the way you describe. At one point it was just Lords. Then it was just wealthy land owning men. Then just men. Even now, only men and women who can prove certain facts about their birth and age qualify.

I'm still having difficulty spotting the difference between that and me assigning my shares to a proxy voting bloc, because I just don't ha e the time or education to understand every little issue that gets voted on in stockholder meetings.
