Not just because it was free. It had a bit of priority since we had a Mysticism drain at the time. It was a cheap (1 secondary and no cost) way of refilling a Mysticism, plus it had a chain bonus. It's expensive now and isn't ideal as a filler action.
We'll probably want a Place to the Stars to get some way of forcing the chain later on.
We have also been told they don't disrupt true cities, sigh. I see where this is going though. I can only really hope that the provinces will take actions focused on getting the megaproject through.
The only time it did that was how the Sacred Warding needed a holy site in every settlement (and thus a new settlement would need another holy site)

This is the worst argument. There's what, twenty voters so far? Vote for what you actually want, there's still time for it to pick up steam. The bandwagon will not grow unless you continue to give it strength.

If it's always been a thing why hasn't it happen before?
Peaceful Transition of Power is a big deal.

Or may lead to periodic/special elections when circumstances change. We've certainly been stuck with a heroic Martial king when we just didn't need him.
That is a horrible argument, you should definitely try to alter it to something else and at least vote for the preferred action for you unless the alternative is decidedly negative.

Maybe, but that is not necessary a bad thing. Sometimes it might even be needed.

Yeah, i'm not sure whether it will actually count as "the south" helping, as opposed to "oh hey, more people the South rely on to fight their battles" I asked @Academia Nut in an earlier post whether it would, but i think i forgot to tag him instead of just replying to his post, and tagging him seems to make it easier for him to notice questions
Given that our kings die so fast, I am not sure the periodic/special elections would be worth the benefit.

It's a thing of human societies.
If someone wants power bad enough and is dissatisfied they will take it.
We've just had a clever system of meritocracy in play that keeps that from happening.

Unlikely considering how the system seems to work at the moment.
Elections lead to people holding the office for life, the idea that they can be removed will probably first be explored via coups or forcing a king out for political greed considering human nature. You are optimistic, which is good, but in politics, which in Ymar is becoming more and more cutthroat, that isn't going to work.
We've already had political assassinations, repression of others and our main way to enforce order is to kill a bunch of people. Don't add to that by putting in the idea that the king can be removed from office

Our priests have done two things of note:
1. Attempted to stop the thing that would lead to horse riding
2. Tried to blame climate change on sin
Giving them any real power is not a good thing.
As for snippiness, think nothing of it.

I think it's more important that the government focus on the climate change, to show that its playing its part in the greater whole, i.e. like in a symphony.

So why are you trying to make it easier for people to take it?
Also I would like to direct everyone's attention to this. This cannot be stressed enough, we have already refused to give the priesthood more power, why would we, just one update later, suddenly change our minds?

Your forgetting them wanting to kill the man who gave us iron.
Political assassinations?
The only thing that came to mind is the insane iron guy.
