Politics Thread (sort of)

I'll miss Frebblebang. He was definitely the most competent out of the final three surviving candidates.

Frebbleglang was just pathetic. I can't believe he had a reputation for being "honest" when he was clearly hiding something. I'll admit, I was shocked to find out that "something" was leading the Sons of Torvalia, even I expected better from him. While I don't take joy in deaths, I do have to admit it was entertaining that he was shot by his own assassin, who couldn't remember which candidate he was supposed to shoot.

Oh, and surprise surprise - the assassin wasn't a Morthurian. In fact, there was only one Morthurian in the entire organization - and he'd disguised himself as a Ralgrion to infiltrate and uncover as many members as he could. Not to mention sabotaging the major attack they'd planned during the election.

In any case, I'm reasonably optimistic about the newly sworn-in President Frebbledang. I don't like the fact that most of his campaign money came from corporate donors, but based on his record as a Represenator, it seems more likely that he'll reward them with government contracts than with favorable legislation. Besides, given the fact that one-third of his Ministers are Morthurians, he'll have little choice but to confront the worst offenses unless he wants to weather the embarrassment of a significant portion of his Cabinet resigning at once.

We'll have to wait and see, but frankly, this was a better result than I expected.
