Boring, eh? - this is still a game you know. Some of the best negotiations and game play have come from offices that have been seen as "perks" without burdensome responsibilities. We have one vaguely interesting election now the P.M., all the others we have to beg someone to take. It wouldn't hurt to have another one or two, especially, again, as we're struggling to make things worth earning.
