Thanks for the poll, Jack

I say "everyone in team" !
Basically, the senate is the place where we discuss all matters regarding the state of the Nation. It's also a place where we should decide many things, and that's only normal that everyone in the team has its say.
Furthermore, that would be more democratic : anyone in the Senate is equal to any other, and one person has one vote.
In our Democracy Game, this is a must

My view on this matter is at least not have president and judges in it. This would be to try and avoid conflicts , too when we are decided to vote someone out cause they commited treason. Also I would try to make all branches of government equal to each other, Thus executive, senate, and court are all equal and have equal say in running things.

I think everyone on the team. Judges should not be deprived of a voice; neither should the Prez.

Anyone can abstain from voting if they feel it necessary this way.

I voted for everyone as well, but perhaps it might be advisable for the president and judge(s) not to comment on how they voted on certain issues as to not influence the voting.

However, we might want to have one selected person that would only vote when things are tied - whether that is the president or the judge or someone else is another matter.

While I see jack_www's point on avoiding conflicts - that can be avoided by just not commenting on how they voted.

Is this the final result or should we wait for more votes?
