Slightly unrelated. My personal unscientific analysis is that some (or

The failure wasnt in the election system, the failure was in the lack of
candidates having the global presence that gives people the confidence to
vote for them. The question is how do we raise the global identities of
more candidates and how do we counter the benefits of 20 years of EU/NA

Adding to Andys observation of distribution being majority US centric

I don't get these kinds of arguments.
I'm pretty much equally very active on enwiki + Wikidata + Commons -
which should I chose as my 'resident' project? Most bytes (Commons),
