The latter is broken as it would allow us to strategically vote to get the most CFC candidates in. Hang on why am I telling you this, its a great idea.

The whole alternates thing is stupid from the start, though ccp are pretty unlucky that this perfect storm (candidate gets enormous vote then is removed immediately with the alternate system leaving his voters disenfranchised) has happened to expose its flaws. |

Well, that type of situation would be conditional on there being no alternates, CCP provided for this situation by assigning alternate CSM candidates for *exactly* this situation.
So the current first alternate (i don't even know who it is btw) will represent the people who voted for Mittani?
Of course the CFC only have themselves to blame for putting all their votes behind MIttani instead of maximising CSM numbers like in previous years. Oops.

There are no flaws, one of the CSM members messed up (this has happened before) and got removed because of it (this has happened before), thus an alternate steps in. The system works perfectly fine. CCP is not responsible for the actions of said CSM member, if the public isn't happy with losing representation then they should probably aim that at the booted CSM member. Or just cry tears of rage on the forums, that also works and by "works" I mean "is hilarious".
Its still a flaw even if its funny. The fact the CSM wasn't even in place yet makes it even more ridiculous. |

I would imagine that the delegate with the next highest number of votes would become chairman, or the CSM would vote on who becomes chairman.
The csm votes to select a replacement, i am not talking about who is chairman though, that is really just an ego piece.
