EuroWeekly Midterm Executive Approval Poll Results
Growing Levels of Discontent and Restlessness
By Lime
EuroWeekly held a midterm executive approval poll between the 2nd and 4th of January 2022. The aim of the poll was to gauge the public's level of approval towards the executive and each Minister at the midpoint of this term. The poll received a total of 30 respondents, and at a 95% level of confidence the margin of error is 15%, however, like any poll conducted in Europeia this should be taken with a grain of salt, as polls are not conducted scientifically. In lieu of written analysis, myself and a couple of guests will provide our on-air analysis in a special EBC Radio show in the coming days. Growing Levels of Discontent and Restlessness

Overall Approval
Very little progress has been made on campaign promises, and a lack of activity from the Vice President has lead to a dismissal effort.
What is being produced? I'm not seeing a lot. I understand the holidays are a tough time so I haven't spoken up much but if things don't accelerate rapidly in the next week or so, some people are going to have to lose their jobs.
I'm going to say it's just the holidays, but things got quiet.
Okay for now
I noticed throughout the first part of the term that the Ministries have done some good stuff for Europeia and the people who chose the Ministers did a good job choosing them.
Seems like some areas are really shining, and others are struggling, not a bad term, but could use a bit of a pick me up in some places.
It is the holidays to provide them with some slack, however not much appears to be progressing in any of the ministries, and there have been no updates from the President, Vice President or much in the way of F/S updates.
This has been... Quiet.
Hasn’t seemed overly visible. Doesn’t seem to have a ton of activity.

Presidential Approval
President Darcness has not made true on many of his campaign promises. While there are certainly many factors outside of his control, and another half of a term to fulfill them, it is not a promising sign. Additionally, he was unable to keep his Vice Presidential pick active on the Forums.
Darc started off strong but has been wobbly recently with both an LOA and then the holiday season
The administration is not delivering on the promises made (across the board) during the election and we have not seen enough of the President himself in the Goldenblock or as a part of his team's initiatives. It's time to step it up in a big way.
We're waiting for stuff to come out and platform promises to be updated, specifically around the F/S update.
He seems to be doing fine, not great not terrible
Darcness has not really shared anything that has been happening in Europeia and we have not saw much being done by Darcness as the public as well. I am not sure what to say about Darcness's term so far, because we are not getting any signs that Darcness is doing anything.
Not demonstrating a lot of public engagement, so I can't tell how things are going honestly.
Isn't visible or appears particularly active.

Vice Presidential Approval
Is he alive? Virtually hasn't posted since mid-December, forumside or on Discord.
Vice President UPC has not maintained a good presence on forums, which is not a high bar. I understand holidays can get in the way of such things, but you're expected not to disappear for a month if you choose to be vice president.
Same as darc, seems to have fallen off
Where is UPC? It feels like I haven't seen him in weeks. I think it's past time to make a change here if there's any hope of making the king of gameside progress that was ultimately a big part of why I voted for this ticket.
Where did he go? He just vanished, and he's an integral part of the gameside part of the F/S update.
A bit of a dip in activity, hopefully he bounces back in the second half
I have barely seen UPC online and I have not seen anything done by UPC besides making a welcoming bot on the RMB. That is just basically it. At least he has done something in his term so far and I will give him credit for that.
He's kinda...disappeared recently.
I haven't seen much of UPC since mid-December, either in eurochat or the forums. I know he had been doing some background work, and if he comes back that's great, but to miss roughly three weeks of the term with no public output? That's incredibly concerning.
Completely disappeared and shouldn't be in the role anymore.
Seems to have recently disappeared.
Has seemed to be nowhere. Maybe I’m missing something though,

Grand Admiral
With Grand Admiral Writinglegend at the helm, we've seen some major successes in The United Front and The Nordic Lands, as well as the introduction of a new game that is sure to boost membership.
Overall doing alright, especially in comparison with some other ministries. We will need a larger, more targeted effort to upgrade the Navy's capabilities and numerical strength before the F/S update though. WL can definitely deliver that but if he's not being pushed from the top, that doesn't help.
Organizing things, dming people, and generally a ray of sunshine anyway. More updates on how the game is coming along would be cool.
The ERN is active again thanks to the work of several people, Gleg included
GA Writinglegend has done an amazing job doing operations with an extremely skilled personnel and it has been successful. I could say this is Writinglegend's best term as Grand Admiral so far being in Europeia.
Gleg is a great GA. Very impressed.
Certainly doing a good job.
Certainly seems to be an excellent recruiter for the Navy.
Ops are being run but mostly it seems by others. I think Gleg has run at least one but he hasn't been as visible as I'd have liked.

Minister of Interior
It's no secret, we've lost a good amount of members. Simply having more telegrams is not enough, we must have telegrams that compel people to come to Europeia, and we need to have more cooperation between Culture and Interior to make events that will draw people from outside of the region.
What is being done is great but the Ministry of Interior should be more than the Ministry of Recruitment and right now, it's just not. We don't need a whole ministry or a full-time minister to have a recruitment contest every term.
He's active, he's pumping out data in his reports. I like it.
Seems good
Calvin Coolidge as being the Minister of Interior has done some good stuff for making people who are recruiters getting encouraged by playing a game of Candy to boost sending out recruitment telegrams. That I give good credit for that to him. I am satisfied with his term so far and I am looking to what he does with the Ministry of Interior for the second part of his term as well.
Recruitment seems to be going fine but nothing on the integration front
Candy land was a great idea and very effective
Calvin is right in his element here. Absolutely love the game this term, and his and his team's output is excellent.
Calvin's done a good recruitment drive this term and last, but that's about it. People consistently appear to ignore his shortcomings due to his popularity.

Minister of Communications
I have not been following the region's dispatches and the Ministry of Communications, so I have no comments on Minister Sincluda's job.
I love Sincluda but Comms this term has been a little underwhelming.
Sincluda seems like a very nice person but has a record of failure in leading this ministry and doesn't seem to know what to do about it based on their public comments. I think it's time to make a change.
Sincluda dropped off the face of the earth in comms and then says no one is doing the work? What work? I think dming people and giving them assignments can help to liven the place up. We aren't doing polls, so now the lack of activity is very clear. Step it up. Now.
He did a good job last term, but Comms is a big challenge to handle for a full term, but there was a lot of inactivity across the board so I wouldnt blame him too much, then again his midterm address didnt offer many solutions either
I gotta say Sincluda has been honest with us with why Communications has gotten a bit inactive. He managed to have people share some good articles in the beginning of his term, but is gotten downhill because of Sincluda being inactive. There is also a bit of things I believe he should have done better, but he has been inactive. I am not so sure what to say about Sincluda's term as being the Minister of Communications.
While the quantity of articles isn't ideal, what has been published is pretty high quality, and Project Moirai is especially interesting, even if this can't all be attributed to the Minister himself.
I like Sincluda, and I think he could be quite capable in the role, but I don't think communications is being run correctly at the moment. Sin has mentioned he'll step up, but you really need to personalise ideas for articles per individual, and engage staff differently. Darcness knows the ministry of communications though, so I have faith that he can help with direction though.
Four articles at this point in the term is ... bad, and at least two of the articles released had issues that should have been corrected before publishing. His public comments also suggest that he doesn't really know how to run the Ministry and inspires little confidence in his ability to improve in the remainder of the term.
I LOVE the idea behind Project Moirai!

Minister of World Assembly Affairs
Minister Greater Cesnica has made Europeia one of the largest voices in WALL, assisted new members in taking more active roles in the ministry, and pioneered a new interregional cooperation program to help our distinguished nations be commended, the heroes of Valhalla. I'd certainly consider him the most accomplished minister so far in this term.
GC continues to do excellent, although activity seems to be falling a little
The wheels, they keep a-turning. I'd like to hear more from this administration and this ministry about how WAA is a vital component of Europeian foreign affairs as opposed to a fun a thing to do for the sake of itself. How's the Valhalla thing going?
IFVs come out. Discussions happen. That's a good.
Its good, though Im still disappointed we didnt see a different person leading the mowaa this term simply to shake things up
Greater Cesnica is consistently always sharing IFVs with great content about proposals that is currently at vote. I say that Greater Cesnica is doing an amazing job as being the Minister of WAA and as always doing a good job even in the earlier previous term.
IFVs are still being published but it seems very quiet otherwise
An absolute workhorse, very satisfied.
He's doing fine, but a change at the top might have been appropriate.
Very good. Outstanding term from my protégé.

Minister of Foreign Affairs
Minister Lloenflys' term thus far has been a mixed bag. While the embassy with the South Pacific is a great achievement, there has been scant activity since, and this administration's request that ambassadors actively seek out information on their region has the chance to undermine trust in Europeia abroad.
I wish we could hear more about what's happening in MoFA
Lloen has really stepped up given the absence of the higher executive of late
Again, overall fine. I don't think Lloen is getting a lot of guidance on what he should be doing so he's focusing on ambassadors which is underwhelming but it ain't nothing. It's trickier to "show your work" in FA than in other ministries so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt whether he deserves it or not is for people with more information than me to decide.
It's kinda quiet. Was hoping for more FA-related updates with the F/S update and the things that should be tied to it closely.
Need more info
I am happy to work with Lleonflys and he is doing a good job managing all us Ambassadors. I am happy and glad to work with a great guy and I believe he is doing a great job talking and communicating with people and always making sure FA is being operated as it should be. I am very satisfied with his term so far.
I like Lloenflys engagement this term, his diplomatic skills are top notch, and he's earned a very satisfied rating from me as he's made up for my concern about a lack of FA experience.
His midterm address placed a great deal of emphasis on ambassadors and talking to them, but I haven't been reached out to since I was given my assignments at the start of term. Maybe I'm just in unimportant regions?
No big problems from the Birb, but definitely seems to be less impactful as MoFA than he was as Senator.

Minister of Culture
Culture is painfully stagnant; it's been seemingly forever since a fresh idea popped up.
Minister Sanjurika has done an excellent job planning and supervising the Winter Festival, encouraging Ministry members to share their ideas, and making use of such ideas.
This Winter festival was...pathetic. Like, all-time bad. If that's the kind of effort we're going to put forth, let's not bother with a festival. Nobody's going to be upset about it. Woof, what a stinker.
Winter festival was fun.
Sanjurika is doing quite a good job setting up and organizing events for Europeia. He is also communicating with the Culture staff about potential ideas and I like that about him. He is a decent fella for the role of being the Minister of Culture.
The most active of the ministers. His work is incredible
Sanjurika has made me love culture even more.
He's active in culture discussions and is certainly a good leader, but the Winter Festival was a big disappointment. That could have been a really fun and ambitious event, but it was a bit of a damp squib.
Disappointing. Doesn’t seem the big cultural initiatives of a winter festival and stuff had quite the impact we thought it might.
We've seen some stuff but the Winter Festival seemed kind of minor in tone, not a lot of big ideas. A strong EuroChoice would counteract that though.

Minister of Radio
Minister Pichtonia is always a welcome presence on streams and broadcasts. He manages to keep everything entertaining and educational, and has been effective in inviting guests that contribute to topics important to Europeia.
Radio shows are happening. That's pretty much the bar we've set for this ministry. Do we really need a minister to manage the schedule, i.e. say yes when people ask to do a show? I'd say we don't. Does the MoR do more than that? I'd also lean toward no. That's not necessarily about Pichtonia but it's also about Pichtonia, you know what I'm saying?
Radio is running itself, which is always good that it can. When you don't need to prod people to work, you've done something right.
Pichtonia is always a great guy in any role he does and he has under his leadership provided Radio staff to produce quite entertaining Radio shows. I gotta say this is one of the better terms for Radio.
Pichtonia? More like ... beautiful.
Shows are ongoing, but he doesn't appear to be leading the Ministry himself and just appears to be approving shows.
There may not have been many shows, but he certainly seems enthusiastic.

Attorney General
It's no secret that the Attorney General is not a demanding position. I have no opinion regarding Attorney General GraVandius' performance.
Has the AG actually done anything yet this term?
*shrugs*
He's doing his job.
I disagree strongly with the way Darc just dropped legal education, and I dont think we have been seeing the Executive doing enough to handle the process of setting up a new system alongside the other branches
I have not really paid attention to the Ministry of Justice all that often and that is why I not really have a opinion on GraVandius's term as being the Attorney General of Europeia. Also the Ministry of Justice has gotten quite inactive and that is why another reason I really not have a opinion on his term.
I forgot we had an Attorney General, which makes me really hope the senate focuses on this more, or the next executive term something is done in this space.
Considering Darc made clear he didn't want his AG to do any legal education, there's little to comment on here.

The term's been fine but I still wish it were better.
Would like to see more from the Exec in regards to the bigger projects of the term like update preparations
This Cabinet term so far has been quite average I say.
Everything is uncomfortable quiet. Usually, that's not a good sign.
