Hello,
Due to the fact that a lot of players are not interested in the politics module of the game, I believe a random shuffle in the order the candidates are displayed should be implemented.
Currently everyone placed 2nd and below start with a handicap because the party/candidate listed in the first position gets a lot of votes from people that vote only to get rid of the notification pop-up. Very often people click the first button in order to get rid of the task.
Yes, you could argue that the party in the first place deserves the advantage for getting the highest number of people involved. but realistically if they are that active and not just more or less active people motivated to join a party by one reason or another, they will put in the extra effort to read the candidate list and still vote for their party either way.
Random shuffle in the candidates order. This should provide us of a more equitable election process.
Think about it!
Best regards,
Tommie
