All Councillors there are politicians to one extent or another.
So me.
And I am the only indy in the bunch. Muwhahahahahah!

Yeah, I missed out on that one. I had to work that night, so LeMaitre had to play Prime Minister Mountbatten in additional to his usual character of Foreign Minister Canning. Those were good times indeed.
Generally I've done my best to avoid the political game. Generally I've seen them as a masturabatory practice wherein someone assumes control over a sector of the game environment in order to fulfill a proxy purpose which, had it not been assumed by the person in question, would have seen an altogether different series of acts/decisions/outcomes.
Occasionally factional diplomacy feels a tad more natural and organic. Groups like the CR which are somewhat running under their own power have a chance to live and die by the choices they make.
I do feel that I came somewhat close while I was running the IND's policies under operation justification. The attempts to make or break a model of near universal empathy through offer of services provided has a political atmosphere to it, though it less stood as a system of dictating the environment for others so much as enabling others to justify their projects through third person provision.
