However I do not agree that the discussion here is completely unhelpful. It shows some of us directly the bad decision(s) we made when we cast our votes in FESCo elections, so that we don't make the same mistake(s) again. I, for one, will be more careful to give my vote to those who are capable of performing (at least basic) reasoning and who are constructive in resolving conflicts. It really doesn't matter for me that much which direction they take, whether they are thinking my way or not. I just want to see my representatives doing their homework.
