I'm a poli sci major with ambition to run for office some day, but I've never even thought about running for office in game, I wouldn't want to let people down in game if I had some real life obligation to do. Doesn't meant I'm anti this system I like the ideas, my only problem is if the population dies further later on or something like that, it may just be the same die hard people in a position of power, and it wouldn't shift around like it might if there were more people.
