I do not know if there is plan to keep, modify or remove the council voting on different actions (DLC conclave). If it's there, I would love the system to be extended to not be a simple vote on 1 item (which is really frustrating) but something that could be cumulative over multiple items.
For instance, I want to give a title to nephew while the action is under council approval. And let say, none of the council member are willing to approve this action.
I could propose to go to war for my chancellor claim on other realm, transfer a vassal under my spymaster, propose to pass a law that my marshal would like, give a large sum of cash to my councilor...
Basically, create a larger agenda when voting so that the ruler has more actions to influence the council and also bring some benefits to the council members who can now declare their goal hoping for the liege to come and propose it as a gesture to accept his own request.
Each item could have a bonus or malus on all the council member wish for the agenda and bringing more positive than negative to the agenda would ensure a positive vote.
If an agenda is a lot in negative for one member, he could be unsatisfied which could lead him to create/join faction, have a lesser opinion of the ruler...
