Was the chain ever really under our control? What witnesses did you vote for before the coup and why?

Also, what next when/if the witnesses you vote for now again reach a consensus? They are not campaigning on any issues other than we must defeat Justin, but the chain has flaws. Flaws which allowed this scenerio to happen in the first place. Shouldn't they be offering a solution to this and other issues instead to earn our votes?

No matter what happens Stinc's stake will no longer be available for development. Shouldn't this be addressed by those asking for our vote?

I find it hard to vote for people only campaigning against something, rather than for anything.
