Voting for managed democracy (as a feature)

[Thwartgorgon75]

I think that while its all fun saying that super earth is just a dictatorship with no actual democracy. I think it would be more fun to engage with the in-game politics by doing the questionnaire as stated in the lore. Think about it, the result of these votes would lead to special effects to missions good or bad or nothing at all. We could accidentally vote for a candidate that reduces stratagems available for missions or increase general mission payout temporarily.

It would be pretty simple given how the managed democracy is said to work. 5 questions for the community to answer and the candidates make the answers which correspond to a vote for them. The twist would be the current leading candidate can choose the questions and have 2 answers that lead to a vote for them (this way it still feels rigged). We also wont know who we voted for until after the polls are over so there wont be any "this question leads to this candidate so vote for them" type conversations. It will just be candidates goals, the questions and the answers we will have to go of to make the vote.

As I said its fine if super earth does not have a system like this and is just 1 party getting elected constantly but I feel like the managed democracy actually being semi truthful in how it works is a bit more compelling. What are your thoughts on this? (This is just a thought case and will probably never be implemented given how the servers have enough issues as is. But would still be cool imo if it happened)

I know, I already said not having a vote is part of the joke. Just that I think it would be fun for role-play purposes.
