Many people are dissatisfied with the quality of decision-making in this game, and the sheer immaturity demonstrated by the current lot of office-holders. People do think the game is deteriorating as a result. I have to say, I agree with them. It really doesn't matter to me that other Senators don't.
I was replying to Laki's post.
I don't think proxy voting will work, especially for a game like this. I don't think we should make this about any individual Senator as I feel people have been so far. The system we have in place works well enough, Senators should actually vote themselves and think for themselves, and if they are not able to do that, then they should take a break from being in the Senate. This opens up all sorts of potential for abuse, both by encouraging inactivity and by centralising decision-making itself (which isn't equivalent to discussing issues with fellow party members).
