Gaitana and O.Torvald are still wondering about that benefitWell, I can see the issue with diaspora voting (the countries that would benefit most from Kazakhstan entering in terms of diaspora votes would be Russia, Ukraine, Belarus followed by Germany and Poland actually), as for political voting there might be a slight risk for Russia and some "cultural points" for Azerbaijan, but this is actually more speculative, atleast Kazakhstan doesn't have much conflicts with other countries as you can see in the Armenia-Azerbaijan case for instance.
37 points from televoters to Gaitana.
5 points from ex-USSR to O.Torvald (1pt from Belarus and 4 pts from Georgia - both of them like rock).
2017 only proved that our diaspora doesn't vote for us blindly.
