I would definitely bet on this. The acts of voting and campaigning and all the oversight involved just seem way too chaotic for the Utopia. Not to mention it seems logistically impractical even with their technology. It also seems to me that such things like demanding to have a vote in whatever would look really petty to them in the future.
