SLIGHT DISAPPROVAL IN CONFIRMATION OF BAOBAB
SLIGHT DISAPPROVAL IN CONFIRMATION OF BAOBAB

The Not-So-Daily Bugle recently ran a flash poll, and you know that it is totally accurate because it is a flash poll done by independent media. Regardless of the true accuracy of the poll, there is still something we can learn from it - particularly the surprisingly high amount of disapproval at a cabinet nomination. Ok, it hasn't been THAT long since a poorly received nomination *cough*whatermelons*cough*, but what's interesting is that this nominee - Baobab - has been a popular choice for his now-confirmed position (Minister of Culture) if you look at the EBC's executive satisfaction polls. Just this last one, Baobab received four nominations for MinCult - which was also more nominations than for any other position (Minister of World Assembly Affairs had 3, split between Sincluda (me) and Pland Adanna). Enough talking, I'll give you what you came here for - flash poll results!
Here you can see what the title mentioned - a slight disapproval for Baobab's confirmation. For those not willing to figure out what 56.3% of 16 is, 9 people said that they would vote NAY on the confirmation of Baobab. 37.5%, or 6 people, said that they would vote AYE, and apparently Baobab answered to say that he, like always, would abstain (I had to take that jab, no offense, Bao). What we can gather here is that not only is there some tangible disapproval for a cabinet nominee, but there is a somewhat tight (albeit not intense and already resolved) debate.
This is the only comment section that got any actual responses. I could poke holes in either argument - hasn't Bao proven himself on a smaller level? Isn't that putting a lot of trust into a relatively basic and unconvincing promise? I won't go too in depth here, so make of it what you will. Also, as I said earlier, neither of the other comment sections got responses, so I won't look at them.
What did we learn here, today? We learned that more people than normal dislike a cabinet appointment. Big whoop, really needed a poll to tell us this. But, on a less accurate level, we could assume that a majority of Europeians are dissatisfied with Baobab's confirmation. However, like it or not, Baobab is the latest Minister of Culture, and we'll see who made the right prediction.
