How on earth can a separate election of the President and the Vice President be interpreted as a means to strengthen or weaken particular political groups?
After all, the electorate which elects the President and the VP is exactly identical. The only reason why a voter would split his ticket by, for example, voting for a JCP presidential candidate and an RPP vice-presidential candidate or vice versa, could be because he believes the presidential or vice-presidential candidate in question is a better fit for the particular office.

And how can that be a bad idea? How can making Atlasian elections more democratic be something anyone should be afraid of - unless one is afraid that the dominant parties lose power?
