As I'll add that I think one of the ways to solve this problem is to make the Cabinet more powerful, so that these elections mean something. The issue for me is not the DM campaigning, but the lack of knowledge, as Viet has said, of those receiving the campaigning and, indeed, the lack of actual campaign information in those DMs. Basically, a candidate is messaging low involvement or new legislators and simply asking 'would you consider voting for me?' As Tsu has said, it's perfectly understandable why they would choose to do so, especial if they weren't considering voting at all before, but it leaves us in a situation where uninformed voters can majorly skew an election result. Whilst other candidates choosing to DM campaign as well would potentially balance this effect, I don't particularly want a TSP where everyone has to send personal campaign messages to every eligible voter just to have a chance of winning.
