I have zero interest in sending complete strangers to iceland to attempt to sway CCP in its decision making and game altering process.
To many power blocks with too many agendas for any of the games players to be totally unbiased.

That's kind of my feeling about it too. |

Or is it the fact that a few players get to represent the rest, where those few players have their own agendas plus are not known to the majority of the player base.
That's not to say they can't be fair but that still remains a mystery to the majority of the player base.
I guess it's a bit like voting for politicians, probably why I've not bothered to vote for the last 15+ years. They usually say one thing then do something else (politicians that is).
Plus another thing about politicians, for the majority it seems their party comes first. So do the CSMs put their own corps first? |

Depends how you look at a none vote.
Some people say it's a wasted vote. People like myself that don't vote, don't vote because if you have a small number of parties and you don't feel any of those parties really represent you, then if you do vote, you are effectively saying you agree with them.
I look at a none vote as just a lack of confidence or non representation from the parties that are standing.
Now being from the UK, if there was a vote to leave Europe, then that's one I would consider.

I was only really comparing the election process, not what they do after they're elected. Except in relation to possible broken election promises. |
