I say yes. Because I want that post. But we should call it the Commitee of Public Safety MUAHAHA!!! We must turn this "Democracy" into a Republic of Virtue!!! Ready the guillotine!

I was thinking more along the lines of the KGB (Which, AFAIK, actually stood for "Ministry of State Security" or something to that effect, which is where I got the name from :P - Note how the MSS would be in charge of ensuring order in our cities.... )...

Of course all the advisors would be against this. It weakens their power!

Seriously, this is important. Though we may have Mike's now (or soon) it's clear that we were on the verge of revolution and rebellion before then. We need someone thinking about this all the time in order to make sure that we have the infrastructure to keep going. In addition, having someone in this post would mean that the military and other advisors would not have to predict when new infrastructure or other happiness stuff is needed.

AFAIK that's the province of the City Planner - but yes, the MSS would be concerned with enforcing internal security by (keeping cities from going into unrest with troops too.

This idea is interesting.
But is our civ so complex to need it ?
And last month, we had no more candidates than cabinet members, so ther went no real vote.
Democracy means choice and let's the present members working (war advisor...).
Perhaps such a proposition is too early in the game.

You underestimate the extent of Sodaquista influence...

The military advisor should be competent enough to manage both attcak and defense units. Otherwise he shouldn't run for the position.
