Keltham kind of didn't bother his Delegate all that much?  He didn't particularly want to change Civilization by voting at things?  Keltham just paid off one of his friends to do some research on the Network.  (Professional political matchmaking is not looked kindly upon for all sorts of reasons, it would be an absurdly concentrated target for corruption attempts.)  His friend came back with a 52-year-old-but-not-grandfather-troped Individualist type, formerly the beloved manager of some small company, living fifteen minutes away in Default, who was just starting out as a Delegate after retiring.

Keltham went to a dinner party with three other potential voters to check the guy out, he seemed pretty gung-ho on pushing out the Private Sphere against the Public Shell relative to the current balancing point.  Keltham tossed the guy his vote along with a spreadsheet of Keltham's personal preferences over some Civilizational desiderata, yes he was serious he'd like to see much less altruism in future generations, and then mostly forgot about it.

Now and then he'd check in, and see that his guy's Elector had switched votes to a Representative who was negotiating with one of the Legislators to switch their vote in exchange for influence on the next Chief Executive being an ex-business-manager type instead of an ex-trader and with less of an emphasis on pondering that person's philanthropy and more emphasis on how they'd run their business.

...Keltham was not under the impression that current Counts would take well to their Barons handing them spreadsheets of values, or telling them they were about to change their allegiance to a different Count, and that Counts would tend to have militantly strong views about keeping their current jobs.  Is Keltham wrong about this?
