Are they running a Gerrymander like CCP wanted to?

[EDIT] Yep - it's the make it harder for Goons voting system.

It's whatever. The only candidates that ever make it into the CSM are bitter null-sec veterans who want nothing more than null-sec sovereignty fixes.

The entire game (Eve Online) needs a MASSIVE economic overhaul that interconnects everything.

They mentioned once that Faction Warfare would affect High Sec via taxation - if your particular faction is losing it would affect taxes drastically in your faction's high sec. This would encourage movement of players (and thereby lessening stagnation) and if not movement it would be a bigger isk sink as there is simply -far too much isk- in New Eden right now.

Without trying to be a smart arse how is any CSM going to deliver any change that isn't on CCP's plans?

As terrible as some CSM members are they could at least bring some lobbyists to the table in the form of bloc support.

This pays nicely into CCP's hands.

"How can you believe so-and-so is credible? They only made it through on 2% of the primary vote!"

First past the post has many faults but it put CSM power where people were mobilized for something. This just gives us a CSM where every member has a mixed bag of constituents.

Perfect for CCP, just as they planned it.
