You begin by asserting that the Yellowjacket vote cannot be controlled and contradict yourself moments later by saying it is in the control of the vampires — who cast their vote as I did in order to secure that claim, and who did so to protect their own interests and, per your information, cannot actually be counted on to present a united front.
"Votes traded or gained are meaningless, if they’re turned upon the innocent," except that the vampires — and, it would seem, specifically Lestat — now have more sway over the girls' vote as a result. If you do influence them, and thereby the girls, you reap the benefit of that trade whether you like it or not.
This is not a fair game. All have had their powers stripped of them, and by night, are rendered incapable of defending themselves. And with so many of our number voting for personal reasons as opposed to rational ones, we won't save anyone by playing fair, either.
They can’t be controlled precisely because they’ve been bought at least twice, in addition to their temperaments. That does not make it any less worrying that they may align with Lestat and his numbers.
Again, I suggest you and Strange both check my missives for the term “fair.” Though, since you quote my words back to me in an attempt to dispute my points, you surely know this.
You can play both unfairly and poorly, Silco.
[ only time will tell whether the latter is true. ]
I cannot influence the girls. I doubt you have the power to do so, either. I can only sway those who trust me, and I will endeavour to do so to the benefit of all our innocents.

I hope you will do the same.
