Personally, I don't understand why electors are as neurotically fickle as they are at the moment. Usually I get a notification about an elector changing his support to a candidate who is a waste of a vote and does nothing but harm me and give them zero help. People supporting themselves with zero chances of winning, my own son(at 100 relations with me, by the way,) supporting the Duke of Burgundy as heir to France, and people swapping support between me and someone else about three times a month. Can anything be done to weight some factor or another, or tweak the "political concerns" effects to let me know for sure when to start engaging in kill plots and all that? I'm playing Norman England and France was forced into elective monarchy. I get ahead in the votes and then my son and a few dukes who hate King Philippe flip flop back and forth between me and a random assortment of people who can't even get into the top three, so I'm constantly flopping around between being set to inherit France and being #2. These are people that I got into power who can't stand Philippe, and I've gone so far as to marry them to my daughters and wipe out anyone in the way of their hating Philippe. Is there anything else I can do, or is there just no way for anyone to like me enough to vote for my nominees?

The same thing has happened with Poland. I set up Poland and Lithuania(my two kingdoms,) as elective monarchies until I can get the authority for Primogeniture, and elector support swings wildly there as well, even among electors who can't possibly like me any more than they already do.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I'm missing?
