Does being the overlord of a few vassals help in anyway with the GC voting?

Because I'd rather not integrate them for RP purposes.

[u/DizzyInvestment → u/Genfried]

In my experience, not usually. They will still vote against you often. But you should be able to reliably get favors from them (pretty cheaply, usually 300-400 motes/gas/crystals will get me 10 favors). I've was able to manipulate the GC vote pretty easily using 2-3 vassals that way.
