| Welcome to Europeia! So what the heck is Europeia anyways? Can I join? So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go? What offices are there for people to be elected into? What is there for me to do in Europeia? That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more? |

The EBC released a poll November 1st, and closed it November 3rd. The poll got eleven responses, and we will now break down the results for you. Did you vote in the last Senate election? Have you run for the Senate before? Have you served as a Senator before? What rating would you give the Senate this term? Mode: 9 What comments do you have about our Senate this term? (A sampling of the responses)
The general consensus from these ratings, and the comments show that this wasn't a bad term for the Senate, just that it began to lose activity, and was for better or worse, focused on the Criminal Code. What rating would you give them on the Criminal Code? Mode: 8 and 9 Do you have any comments on the work that's been done on the Criminal Code thus far?
Our respondents give the Criminal Code work a higher rating than the Senate overall, so it would appear that this work was not only the main focus of the term, but also a popular focus. What rating would you give Anumia? Mode: 9 Adjusted Avg: 7.89 After a very active term, including a reply to Criminal Code almost as long as the bill itself, it is no surprise Anumia has such high approval. What rating would you give Calvin Coolidge? Mode: 8 Adj Avg: 7.22 A newcomer to the Senate, it seems his activity and discussion have earned him a solid approval rating at the end of his first term. What rating would you give Drecq? Mode: 8, 9, and 10 (Highest) Adj Avg: 8.14 (Highest) You don't get to be Speaker of the Senate, let alone as many times as Drecq has, without doing the job right, and Drecq has done it again. He's earned the highest approval rating of any Senator, and his activity and dedication to the Senate lend no suspicion as to why. What rating would you give PhDre? Mode: 7 Adj Avg: 7 After being one of the highest rated Senators last term, it appears PhDre has lost some favor with the voters. He has been a little inactive, and missed a vote, so this may factor into his relatively low rating here. What rating would you give Rach? Mode: 6 (Lowest) Adj Avg: 6.44 (Lowest) Getting elected after many dismissed her candidacy as a joke may not have put Rach on a path many respondents approve of, as her ratings are all over the board, resulting in the lowest approval of any Senator. She has also been inactive at times, and has missed a vote. What rating would you give Writinglegend? Mode: 7 and 8 Adj Avg: 7.55 The other new Senator this term, Writinglegend, has performed well enough to tie with Drecq in the unadjusted average, but after removing some of the more extreme responses, goes to the middle of the pack, a solid rating for a solid first term Do you have any comments on the performance of the individual Senators?
If the Senate Election were held today, how likely is it that you would reelect Anumia? If the Senate Election were held today, how likely is it that you would reelect Calvin Coolidge? If the Senate Election were held today, how likely is it that you would reelect Drecq? If the Senate Election were held today, how likely is it that you would reelect PhDre? If the Senate Election were held today, how likely is it that you would reelect Rach? If the Senate Election were held today, how likely is it that you would reelect Writinglegend? These numbers pretty much just reflect the ratings of each Senator. Anumia and Drecq have a very good chance of getting reelected, Calvin Coolidge and Writinglegend have a decent chance, and PhDre and Rach would have a bit of a tougher campaign if they decide to run. At the time of this article's posting, only three of the six sitting Senators have stood for reelection. Are you planning on running for Senate in this upcoming election? What do you consider when deciding which Senatorial candidates to vote for? (A sampling)
What new faces (i.e. not currently on the Senate) would you like to see run for Senate this term? The responses to this question were varied, with a lot of names being dropped ... and a few responses that were much more general in nature. "Many members of the Citizens' Assembly should absolutely run," was shared by one respondent. Another said, "Anyone, really. Let's get some new people in there." Of course, if anyone is wondering if they were name dropped, here's the list of people (in alphabetical order) that were mentioned by the respondents: Angelus, Belshaft, Carrot, Cordova, CSP, Grenmark, Kraketopia, modernsin, Moronist Decisions, Ninja Kittens, Notolecta, Shin, and Sopo. How could the Senate be improved? We got mixed responses here. We had four or so respondents say that they didn't want to make any changes and that the Senate is pretty good as is. Others seemed to indicate that they believe the Senate suffers from being such an exclusive body without enough input from outside sources. Four specifically mentioned bringing back Committees, and another mentioned the need to listen to outside voices in some way or another. An additional respondent mentioned wanting to improve the Senate Aide program going forward. Would you like to see the return of Senate Committees? Do you have any final comments on this Senate term or the upcoming election? We didn't get as many responses on this question, but again, the results were mixed about celebrating the lack of committees this term and calling for the return of committees for the upcoming term. There was one more response that didn't touch on committees at all but instead called for "a highly competitive race." Conclusion A highly competitive race is something that we all hope to see, and we at the EBC hope to see more people standing for their shot at a Senate seat in the coming days. The standing has since kicked off with seven candidates, and, always, the hope is that by the end of the process we'll have a fine group of candidates to select from.The EBC would like to thank all respondents for giving their input, and we hope that this Senate Election is nothing but active and competitive.

Only 11 respondents does not bode well for turnout this election. That is the most surprising thing about this poll to me. |

Probably poll fatigue to be honest. Each of the recent polls has steadily decreased in respondents. |

Never mind the bulk of respondents are probably subjects of the poll.
