Name: Mayor Mightmares

Description: Citizens all over @@NAME@@ are demonstrating for a chosen Mayor.

Validity: all nations who are democratic

Options:

[option]”Frankly, every citizen who is eligible to vote should also be allowed to vote for the Mayor of his or her municipality,” says civil-rights activist @@RANDOMNAME@@. “This will improve democracy even further. The Mayor is the face of the town and should therefore be elected by the people and should not be picked by the government! This way, the Mayor actually represents the people!”

[option]”Chosen Mayors? Even more democracy and expensive elections?” shudders @@RANDOMNAME@@, your advisor on Internal Affairs. “We don’t need chosen Mayors. The Mayor is supposed to be a professional leader. He or she is the boss of many municipal-employees and has to take many important decisions. We can’t have some kind of a civilian do that! All hell would break loose!”

[option]”This has me thinking…..” says your friend’s dentist’s wife’s friend. “Why do we need democracy and local governments anyway? You know the best for the people! Abolish all local governments and rule yourself! Oh, and put all those ex-Mayors in prison!”
