Mid-term Senate Satisfaction Polling Analysis
How satisfied is the Europeian public with the Senate?
Written by Forilian
The Europeian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) ran a poll on satisfaction with the Senate from 29 to 31 July. There were 25 respondents.
Overall Satisfaction
Only 44 percent of respondents said that they were satisfied with the Senate as a whole, with notably no respondent saying they were very satisfied with the Senate. This is a significant drop from the last Senate, which had a 76.9 percent satisfaction rate at the end of the term. 24 percent of respondents were neutral about the work of the Senate, while another 24 percent were unsatisfied, with a further 8 percent very unsatisfied. Comments were generally negative towards the Senate, but one commenter noted that “despite some hiccups” the Senate “has still passed four bills, one of which was a fairly big change to the way Senate elections work.”

Seems a little aimless.
Seems like nothing's getting done. Pages and pages of discussion.
That VP requirement took too much time and attention. Those walls they typed... Really could have used their energy better, in my opinion
This Senate hasn’t achieved very much, and it’s due to select Senators.
Stop trying to "fix" things that aren't broken. Especially when the proposed fixes often break things

Senate Speaker GraVandius received the same satisfaction rating as the Senate as a whole, 44 percent. This includes 20 percent of respondents being very satisfied, and 24 percent being satisfied. 24 percent were neutral, 24 percent unsatisfied, and 8 percent very unsatisfied. Comments were split, with some responses noting that GraVandius is “doing [a] pretty good job” and that “he’s done what he’s supposed to,” while some other respondents had less positive remarks, with one saying that GraVandius “does not seem to have the emotional maturity for the job.”
He's a good Senator and he's great at his admin duties as Speaker. He isn't a "neutral" Speaker like Lloen was when it comes to issues however. GraV makes pretty clear when he's angry or frustrated.
Does not seem to have the emotional maturity for the job
Doing pretty good job
Why so aggressive?
Good performance this term, able to argue his points well but also is willing to accept he is in the minority at times.
The senate started off very well but then that VP thing... Really expected better coordination and less unnecessary emotions. I'm satisfied with him as a senator but not as speaker
Declaring the amendment as "urgent" was a weird reaction.
He’s done what he’s supposed to.

Senator Calvin Coolidge received a satisfaction rating of 56 percent, with 36 percent very satisfied and 20 percent satisfied. 20 percent of respondents were neutral, 12 percent unsatisfied, and another 12 percent very unsatisfied. Positive comments for Calvin Coolidge noted that while his views are “controversial” or “isn’t popular,” he “knows when to concede and step back,” while negative comments called him an “obstructionist” and said that “his stances he takes are stubborn and not explained well.”
Calvin has raised his points quite well in the Senate. And has engaged in debates even if his opinion isn't popular.
Again, the VP thing. He and all the others made it so annoying...
I don't mind the ideas he has, but his stances he takes are stubborn and not explained well.
Overall I think he's done well. He can seem a bit like an obstructionist at times however.
Not much to say. Keeps bringing up controversial legislation, but knows when to concede and step back. Knows how to get things done rather than holding discussions hostage.
Obstructionist.
I don't know how his ridiculously damaging views continue to allow him to be elected.

With a satisfaction rating of 76 percent, Senator Darkslayer received the highest approval rating of the entire Senate. 28 percent of respondents were very satisfied, 48 percent satisfied, with 8 percent each neutral, unsatisfied, and very unsatisfied. Comments were generally positive, with two even indicating that they would like to see Darkslayer serve as Senate speaker.
He's done a good job. He knows when to stick his ground and when to fall back.
I expected better from him, he makes some really disappointing and silly decisions, his view on VP being a minister was ridiculous, poorly reasoned and generally made no sense. This senator is completely out of touch with the rest of the region and should resign.
Seemed a little shaky/wish-washy at the start of the term, but has been doing an excellent job lately.
Was quite good, especially in the beginning. Then kind of disappeared but maybe it was for the better, given how much controversy there was. Good choice for speaker next time, has potential. Honestly, while writing the comment I went from neutral to satisfied
Darkslayer showed good leadership during the senate speaker process, running the process really well. Although the AIC caused some controversy, he knew to withdraw it without putting it a vote, and apologised. I think Darkslayer knows when to make the right calls at the right time. I hope to see him as speaker in the future.

Senator Lime received a satisfaction rating of 52 percent, with 8 percent very satisfied and 44 percent satisfied. Lime received the highest neutral response out of all senators, with 32 percent neutral. Notably, no respondent indicated that they were very unsatisfied with Lime, with only 16 percent of responses indicating they were unsatisfied with Lime. Comments were split between positive and neutral, with three comments indicating that Lime was relatively quiet, and 2 responses saying that Lime, “still [did] a good job” and “makes some very good points.”
He makes some very good points and I can clearly see his line of thought.
Is he even there?
Quieter this term, but still a good job.
Quiet, but not inactive. True neutral here

Senator Mr. Verteger received a 60 percent satisfaction rating, with 44 percent very satisfied, the highest of any senator, and 16 percent satisfied. 12 percent were neutral, and while Mr. Verteger received a relatively high dissatisfaction rating at 28 percent, there were no very unsatisfied responses for Mr. Verteger. Comments were overwhelmingly positive, with commenters saying that Mr. Verteger “surprised” and “impressed” them this term, and a commenter describing him as an “outstanding” Senator, with one even going further to say that he is “the best Senator so far.”
Vert has been a very good Senator. Active, provides good responses and was the mastermind behind the large changes to Senate elections.
Crazy madman? Sure. But an effective Senator so far.
Really impressed this term. Proposes legislation with sound reasoning, has articulate arguments. Not always the most practical/supported legislation, but I can see his reasoning and justification clearly.
Started some discussions, actually the best senator so far. If it were possible, I would reelect him
Vert has been outstanding as a Senator this term
Really surprised me this term. Sad that he’s not running again, because I need to V4V for once

Senator Pichtonia received an approval rating of 68 percent, with 28 percent very satisfied and 40 percent satisfied. 20 percent of respondents were neutral, with 4 percent unsatisfied and 8 percent very unsatisfied. Comments were generally positive, with commenters adding that Pichtonia “adds a steady voice to discussions” and “keeps his head cool and calm.”
Pichto makes his line of thought very clear and argues his points well.
I dislike his views on the VP, but he does at least have some reasoning there, even if it is wrong
Doing a fine job, always adds a steady voice to discussions.
Willing to compromise but... compromise wasn't achieved. I'm not sure anyone could have done better though
Often one of two adults in the Senate (the other being Prim.) Keeps his head cool and calm.

Note: Prim has since resigned from his Senate position.
Senator Prim received a satisfaction rating of 64 percent, with 36 percent very satisfied and 28 percent satisfied. 16 percent were neutral, with 20 percent unsatisfied. Comments were positive generally, with his work being described as “very good.”
Prim has done well and made good contributions. Not as active as he was last term, but still very good.
Not much to say, experienced legislator.
I really didn't see what he was doing, a weird term. Though I might be wrong
Prim is the other adult in the Senate, and keeps the Senate (relatively) cool and calm. Very good job, Prim.

We then asked respondents who they would like to see re-elected to the next Senate. 72 percent of respondents wanted to see Senator Pichtonia re-elected, followed by Darkslayer (64 percent), Prim (60 percent), Mr. Verteger (60 percent), Calvin Coolidge (48 percent), GraVandius (44 percent), and Lime (32 percent).
