Yet for some reason this reduced my Political Freedom? I feel as though this is a mistake, unless there's some reasoning I'm not understanding.

Issue: "Criminals to Vote?" number 320
Date: 28 October 2017
Choice: Option 2 (allow prisoners to vote)
Confusing outcomes: minor decrease in Civil Rights (82.3 to 81.3) and Political Freedom (82.5 to 81.3). Authoritarianism went from .03 to .04, which is a little weird but probably due to the decrease in the others? I'm just a bit annoyed because I'm trying hard to max out freedoms without trashing my economy and this issue seemed like an easy pick.
Okay, the same thing is happening with both of these. The way political freedoms are calculated got adjusted slightly, this adjustment is being expressed in your next issue choice. In both cases, the choice didn't make your political freedoms change, the model adjustment did. In fact, for Michusko the choice without the model adjustment would have indeed increased political freedoms.
Also to Michusko your civil rights weren't actually affected by that choice.
