I didn't give anyone a top rating in this poll, because I didn't see anyone who deserved it.
From the start, this term had a load of wildcards. Some were 'above average', like Lethen, who greatly impressed me. But it took a while for him to get going, and so I hesitated to give him the top score.
Apollo came toward the top as well, very solid work. Would not mind a President Apollo after the effort I saw from him in the Navy.
Sopo has done a very strong job, but he didn't have a full term to work through, so I rated him generously, but not the best.
Hyanygo...actually impressed me. I was not one of the haters. However, despite his strong work in the Law Index, I do not know whether the AG deserved the promotion to the Cabinet. Only time will tell.
Rachel got a decent score from me, but it was hard to judge off the limited time she saw action. A solid plan, a very solid response to the shift back to manual, but not enough time for me to rate her at the top.
Vinage in Media could have done more. What was done was...good...but what could have been done would have been incredible. This isn't a diss at Vinage, because I know he had his hands full in the WA, but this particular Ministry had (and still has) more potential in my eyes.
Abbey...was a crapshot in this Cabinet. She is brilliant, friendly, and a great person. But she also is intelligent in real life too, and has real life issues to sort away, and I worried she might not have time for this role when Skizzy appointed her. Welcoming was...what it was...but like Media, it could be so much more, no matter how it is ultimately set up. It should not be one person hauling through all the work, but a Minister should have the time to do that if nobody else steps up.
Now...the Senate.. While I gave averageish - above averageish scores to the Cabinet, I went much lower on the Senate.
Speaker Malashaan got a solid score from me, but not perfect. He is a brilliant editor and he weighs all ideas proposed, but I haven't seen many original ideas within the Senate from him. Nothing that really inspires me. But he was probably the high end of this Senate.
Cerian Quilor...I feel like lots of his contributions in the Senate were often short and often just notes of agreement. But he bothered to show up, and it isn't a struggle to find his name. Again, not impressed, but I would probably vote for Cerian.
Peaceful Llamas, I felt much the same way. I was really excited for him the last election, but didn't end up really driving the Senate anywhere. He offers some interesting opinions, but it's honestly harder to find his name in Senate threads than Cerian.
Notolecta, I didn't give a great score, but in retrospect he should have gotten a bit better. He always seemed to at least have something to say, even if I disagree with him much of the time. Probably 'above average' for this Senate.
Apollo did a great job in the navy, but his Senate performance was pretty weak in comparison.
Masterson I went to the floor with.
Sopo got a strong ranking from me. He always seemed to contribute, though like Malashaan, fell short on seeming to have groundbreaking ideas.
All in all, I disagree with Skizzy. I think this Senate was... mediocre. A lot of discussion over minutia, that some Senators only somewhat attended.
