Yeah this one is a bit of a fail in the drama bomb stakes. Darius is probably unwise to talk of his strategy "rigging" anything since its just electoral tactics not anything inherently shady. Basically he wants multiple Goon candidates on the CSM to increase the voting power of the Goons. Not exactly startling news to anyone who has followed the history of Goonfleet in Eve.
All this topic shows is that Darius believes Goonfleet is more organized and motivated than rival entities (and the general eve public) and this means he has an opportunity to get at least 2 candidates into the CSM by the Goon primary winner's voting block (Bane Glorious) and his own slice of the internal pie + whichever non Goons he can talk into voting for him.
If you don't like Darius' strategy simply don't vote for him. Force the Goons to rely on their internal block vote only and you'll probably limit Goons to only one vote on the CSM. If you don't want Goons to win the chairman of the council position then get voting for another non-Goon candidate and make sure as many of your own corp and alliance mates register meaningful votes as well.
Goons have a few thousands of votes in Eve. The rest of the community has 200,000.
Only voter apathy is going to deliver a Goon-dominated/Goon-Chairman council. Lets make sure it doesn't happen right? 
Let's make the most long winded person known to humanity the chairman of a newly formed council with not-yet defined duties and powers, this surely can't go wrong and will ensure that the council will have practical responsibilities!

Defensive much Swamp Ziro? 
Go have a nice cup of tea and chill out. We're all Eve gamers here and want the best for the game - no need for damage control, I just pointed out your leader isn't really "rigging" anything, just hoping to win the benefits of a drone voting block in an environment of potential voter apathy.
Nah I just can't resist taking a jab at you, I've been doing that since before I even was in goonfleet :V

Originally by: Jade Constantine I guess its back to the three line whip and vote as your leader commands 
That's as true as saying that you can sometimes be concise and to the point.
