Europeian Election Preferences
Coming in a relatively distant third is Length of Activity in the Region. This was meant to represent not only how long an individual has been in the region but how long they have been contributing in some form or another. Conversely, in a strong fourth place is Sociability on Discord. This is something that might be a bit higher than expected in my book. I think it's a fair assumption that this is higher than the rating for "Sociability on Skype" would have been circa 2015. It represents a shift in regional priorities that likely took place a few years ago at this point. Regardless, for a fair number of citizens being able to interact with the candidates on Discord is a high priority and certainly almost a necessity in competitive races.
In fifth is Senate/Judicial Experience. This experience obviously provides less relevant skills than Executive Experience but can still demonstrate work ethic ect. I did not expect it to come in high in the poll but I was at least slightly surprised it is less valued than Sociability as one at least represents work being contributed to the region. Finally in last place is "New Face" or in other terms the candidate simply being fresh and new to the region/leadership roles. This poll clearly demonstrates that while some hold it over other factors just being new is not going to provide any significant boost in a campaign.
Above I have attached the "raw data" in chart form representing the individual rankings for your viewing pleasure. The data mostly holds up. Executive Experience received the most "6 (Highest Priority)" Votes with High quality platform receiving the second most along with the most "5 votes". Length of activity received a clear middle of the pack consensus from the region as it received the vast lions share of "4" votes. Sociability received a relatively high number of low priority votes along with a smattering of high priority votes, representing perhaps a generational divide in it's perceived importance. Senate/Judicial experience received just a slightly higher number of low priority vote without as many passionate supporters giving it "5s and 6s". "New Face" Comes in a clear dead last with the most low priority votes.
In Conclusion, I've attached both a graph representing the Median and Mode along with the poll comments. All in all I think this poll has illuminated what at least a large segment of Europeians value in terms of First Minister candidates. These averages will also be used as weights to develop a rudimentary model that will be published in The Arnhelm Review of which these series of articles are a partnership with. So make sure to check that out Here!
Whitmark for FM
I'm going to view "Executive Experience" as meaning "experience doing something as a minister or deputy minister or something similar" and am also going to read into it a judgement ON that experience. The most important thing to me is have you done SOMETHING and shown that you're capable of doing it reasonably well. A good platform is important but I need to know you aren't all talk.
Was hoping for more declared candidates by now.
I'm not opposed to voting for a veteran member, but we have some great new talent and I hope to elect one of them FM.
I really wish I could put 0's on some of these things...
Quite the short poll. I also wonder if the results for "new face" will be skewed towards new members.
i feel another question should be added, persistence. as in, how persistent was the person in trying? were they a one and done deal or a keep trying till the end?
