The Mittani "gets" politics which is an aspect of leadership many forget to employ.
After all, is is easy to lead - just not so easy to get others to follow.
My problem is that I'm keen for CCP to work on the aspects I'm interested in. I'm in a minority, I know it and I know my vote counts for little against the Goon block. So while I have huge respect of Mittens and the Goons as a whole I'd still like to see them burn.
It's frustrating to feel this powerless. I never was good at patience. |

It's frustrating to feel this powerless. I never was good at patience. I'm going to blow your mind and point out that there are 6 other positions on the CSM that also go to Iceland, not to mention the ones that don't but still have a voice.
Part of the job of a Chair is to direct and allow individuals voice time. If the Chair takes a stance against an individual their life gets a whole lot harder, and it does not have to appear overt. It is next to impossible even for the most reasonable chair-person to keep their personal opinions out of the equation.
So even if a minority did get a rep in the CSM, how much credence they are given is is largely due to how charitable the Chair feels towards them.
Now from what I've read, no one is suggesting Mittens abused his position as Chair. But, don't for a minute believe it is not a position of power. |

So, the goal of someone who wants to be heard at CSM is twofold. 1) get someone there who can orate convincingly for them. 2) ensure there is a sympathetic Chair person.
You try doing that with one vote.

On the other hand, if the minority view that you want to have represented is one that the overwhelming majority of the CSM oppose (not just the chair), then even a sympathetic chair is not likely to help you much. For example, I don't think WiS has legs (rimshot) in any CSM7 that's likely to get elected.
lol. I don't think it has legs either, which is exactly why it needs mit-mits support.
right now my time is better spent finding a way to make incarna important to the goons rather than looking for a candidate to vote for. |
