| Message | We always thought it was rather odd that this wasn't how they were elected in the first place, honestly. |

| Message | People know not of mayor candidates, and uninformed democracy is anarchy. The Maharaja is the man who should do this. |

| Message | The Maharaja has long endorsed utilization of municipal councils, for those are more likely to accurately reflect diversities of opinion in a town. By electing mayors directly we risk giving rise to divisive mayorial elections where the final mayor chosen only is representative of slightly more than half of the populus. Local politics should be based off of consensus not majoritarian battles. The office of the Maharaja, Faith Vo Shadow Prime Minister |
