It's not a vote

[msmemory_archive]

Arrgh. I hope I am managing to express to Their Highnesses' secretary that the fact that I do not like or approve of the automated results-tallying software they used during her reign a few years back does not mean that I dislike/disapprove of her. It's my opinion that the Crown should read each person's written responses itself, or at least give the impression of having done so, not just look at a table that says "45 for, 10 against, 25 don't know candidate" in making its decisions.

O PIN ION. And I'm not the Queen. If I ever am, then policy will be made by my opinion - and not until then.

Good luck with that. The second time I was king, Alia ended up resigning as head of the manche, I think (could have been laurel), because I rejected out of hand using such a system, precisely along the lines of wanted to see what people had to say, rather than reduce them to a tabulated vote. People get wrapped up in their ideas, and it is very difficult to reject an idea and have its champion not take it personally, so far as I can tell.
