i agree with you new master and i think you put that really well. If someone enjoys every element of spending time with their sub, then that includes knowing what they think, talking to them, debating with them etc, and to start making decisions such as who they vote for would slowly but surely kill off any will to be who they really are. (or they'd tell you to sod off, which would put stress on the Ds element of the relationship).
