Greetings.
I am of the opnion that when it come to votes, people should know the truth of their candidates.
I have done some digging on the matter and I can say this: Both A Flash Lay and Investiating give extra info on each candidate. Info that may swing your vote one way or another.
I sincerely suggest checking out both of these options for each candidate before placing your mind on where your vote lies.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

I do find it fascinating that each of the three candidates is in fact not what they initially are appearing to be. I like that depth. Rewarding our research with this sort of thing pleases me greatly. Well done FBG.

I always think this is a flawed example . . .
In RL, we have no idea who made said searches: school children for projects, non-voters that were curious, immigrants wanting to know how their rights would be affected, lazy searchers who wanted something else but clicked whatever auto-correct said . . . you can't assume that people searching one thing are the same people voting in another, just saying. Correlation isn't causation, as they say.

Well, your investigation are pretty much espionage for your own curiosity instead of anything else and far more than a typical person's attempt at informing themselves.
And story/RP-wise, it is really weird that even the curious swing voters have to declare support first BEFORE they can dig up dirt and then go back to change their votes.

Absolutely! I was backing Jenny anyway, but even more so since I've learned more about the others...

On the other hand, it is really weird that you are casting a vote BEFORE taking a look at the candidates.

Technically, I don't think we've cast our ballot's yet. We're campaigning. Trying to convince others (primarily, it seems, London's non player residents) to vote for the candidate we've chosen to support. Who you've chosen doesn't matter until the election ends on the 18th. And should you discover something particularly distasteful about a candidate you can change sides at the cost of half your election career level (or no cost with fate). Which I encourage you to do. To Jenny. Because monster hunting ninja nuns.
