DZ, you've got to admit that donsig is not responsible for the lackluster involvement of the Leaders either. I think you're getting a little defensive here for no reason.
If anyone in these Demogames had an ounce of memory, I would call on them to remember the time when Shaitan was President. He too faced a Presidency that had a shadow Cabinet. Shaitan set out to take the bull by the horns and stear the game in the direction he thought best when there was no advice or instruction from the Leaders. This is very similar to what donsig has done. But donsig is not the popular candidate that Shaitan was. The prideful and learned leaders of this game would much rather use donsig as their puppet and teach him the "right" way of doing things. And, of course, that would be doing what they say. The lack of involvement by the citizens and Leaders of this game is a known fact. I'm sure donsig was not singling you out or "lambasting" you for your Term as President. I believe he was referring to the Leadership as a whole, which has carried over to this Term, where donsig, as DP only had 3 Instrusctions from his Leaders when he started his first chat this Term.
This PI is about as useless as the PI Chieftess brought against you, DZ. You, yourself call this one a spectacle. Obviously, the citizens do not feel helpless or they would not be trying to lynch the President. There is way too much whining and not enough work being done to run the Government properly. If these people really cared about having a voice in the way this Government is run, they would post Instructions in the Instruction threads, post polls, and initiate discussions on the issues that concern them.
