ERI Poll: Europeian President Election Priorities
In the above chart I've split the factors into 4 categories. The first category consists of the most important factor, the platform. This received the highest number of 10 ratings at 16 identifying it as the single most important factor. Additionally, it received no votes lower than a 6. This is good news for people looking to jump into this race who don't have a litany of accomplishments already racked up behind their name. If you present a comprehensive, quality platform you have a good shot at pulling off a victory.
The second set of factors are Length of Activity (which is how long their most recent string of activity has been), Domestic and Foreign Affairs Experience. A little surprisingly Domestic Affairs edges out Foreign Affairs experience here by a slight margin. I think generally the perception in the past has put a larger weight on foreign experience. Perhaps though the times of executive split have shifted the region's perception on this matter.
The next category, which falls just under the factor to seriously consider threshold, is Debate Performance and Discord Sociability. The fact that discord activity represents on average a notable factor definetly emphasizes the shift of the region towards a more social, friendly direction than a political one. One person even rated it as their most important factor. I highly question whether a few years ago someone would have ranked skype activity as their most important factor in a presidential election. Additionally, Debate Performance, to a lesser degree might also be a surprise to some people for being this high. This might be impacted by the previous elections debates, which showed poor performance could certainly be a nail in the coffin for a struggling campaign.
The final category is the factors that might be helpful to have but at the end of the day are certainly not a significant factor in the campaign. It is not surprising to see Senate/Judicial activity here as many members of the community have been commenting over the past couple weeks. Legal experience does not transfer over to the executive as they are not really similar. Additionally, maintaining the perception of Europeia as a meritocracy simply being new to a position does virtually nothing for you. Finally, I think confirming what we have seen the past couple elections, public endorsements are not really a major factor either as we've frequently seen popular First Ministers and distinguished members of the region stack up in favor of a candidate only for them to lose. So at the end of the day your endorsement may only be worth marginally more than just your vote.
In conclusion that does it for these poll results, stay tuned for the launch of the model as we are looking to put out a preliminary rating as standing opens or even a little before. I look forward to an exciting campaign!
