Don't waste your time grinding merits every 30mins, or fighting for 1 merit per kill "that you actually last hit".
Pay to fasttrack, and you will only have to pay 10,000cr/1merit = Rank 5, 100mil cr.
Its 24 trips in a 452 cargo trading conda, but if you have a smaller craft just do the simple math,
it will always be faster and more economical than the time spent griding mobs or waiting for the cargo respawn, then you can go back to grinding efficiently at a RES(unless they are still broken), or just straight up back to trading for real profits.
This way you get to vote the next cycle, you get 50mil cr back anyways from the rank 5 weekly bonus and you end up paying a meager 47-49 mil for having rank 5 bonus and being able to impact the powerplay. Also every week you continue you will get 50mil more or if they fix the 50% weekly merit decay it will gain you 2mil closer to removing your 49mil entryfee into the club.
here is my day 1 and my day 5 merit screens:
