[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1398634, member: 17969"] Ok, lets talk about "vote trending". When we first took office, we received over 2700 votes. TDU and Bruno received less than 400 combined votes. Since then, Ron has been steadily loses votes, with the last election bringing him down to 1965. Yes, there are alot of upset members, but you will see his numbers on only drop down to about 1745 this time, which will still be a majority to win. You can be sure that RON will be unable to draw larger numbers for sure, so protecting his base is his priority. That "base" will likely be retired in the next election cycle and will be of no help to his administration. Being "engaged" is the key, and right now, the contract is "old news" to the majority of people. It became old news 6 months after it was voted down the first time. People just give up talking about it. If this election was held in november of 2013 when our contract expired, Ron would have been tossed out even if mickey mouse ran against him. Today however, its a different story. Other than those directly connected to local politics, who is talking about the contract? Who is debating sections of the contract that dont affect them? What full timer gives a crap about a 4 year progression for part timers? Answer: NONE. So, the real question is how to get the people engaged to care? If you cant answer that in a manner that inspires member participation, then you dont have a chance to win. TOS. [/QUOTE]
