Am I the only one thinking that all this talk of what went wrong in RL Democracies is a little too involved? Role-playing aside, we are playing a game here, so no-one has anything to gain by causing mayhem. Besides, if you're going for President, or any Ministerial position for that matter, you seem to get pretty thoroughly grilled by everyone here. Also, after a little time one certainly starts to leave an impression about what type of poster you are - for example, of the non-Ministers here, I feel I would pretty much trust NYE with a vote for any position, should the giant cat ever run for one. I think we can trust our feelings on this, and I for one believe that not a single Minister would lead us astray.
I would certainly be very surprised if anyone voted in ever betray the people to any extent. Personally, I think that if we can trust EVERYone with the save, we can trust the Ministers (since we chose them) to make educated decisions, based on those who have helped (or hindered
) their terms with consistent, thoughtful and unbiased posting. After all, the Ministers are the ones who must respond to most posters - surely they are the best qualified to choose the best for this job. If someone has a problem, OK. I see elections as being a further politicization of a position that should be apolitical - not the best of ways to go about ensuring such a result.
