That's an interesting statement. I would have expected that GCR delegates would care, well, about the same as your average player. But I it makes perfect sense that the delegate of a GCR would be far more concerned about their region than the WA.
If people are concerned about how much voting power the 8 GCRs have in the WA, the debate we should be having is how to alter delegate voting power in the WA.
The general sense I get from your whole post is that you feel that the most powerful delegates in the WA aren't actually invested in it, and that it would be better worth the time of those looking at balancing GCR power to start there. I don't personally support the line of thought looking to limit GCR power in the WA by directly targeting them with yet another GCR-only limiting feature, because that doesn't do anything to improve gameplay outside the WA.
A change I think would greatly improve the game, which kind of follows what you are saying about GCR delegates being disinterested in at least the GA, would be if WA functionality were separated from regional government functionality. Something like having the WA split into two separate GA and SC world organizations with separate memberships and delegates for each could work.
