 Yeah, yeah.
It is difficult to cut off the political aspects of the process commonly denominated democracy, but reread my statement in a more benevolent way and put the accent on sociological and psychological aspects of mass behaviour. Whenever the mayority decides, most of the time it democratically decides to do nothing, to let things be. That is why I mentioned the term in this context ... as laughable.

If you want anything really done, be it in Stars! or in RDL ... you have no other option but to push for it against mayority ... and be perceived as an dictator, benevolent or not, as you put it.

Might be a very useful diplomatic tool: Whenever you are discussing any treaty and you do not like any particular proposal, ask ¿Are you sure your people voted you to ask for this?, like he would not be acting in the interest of his people.

It is very dificult to think of Stars! as an empire-building strategy game ... without politics.

Maybe we should not talk RDL politics, but why not politics inside Stars! or politics related to the way we behave with or towards Stars!?

Plain "No politics please", is the preferred political view of those that politically prefer to continue the status quo that is their political choice.

It seems easier to turn ones back on politics than to openly say one does not want things to change. It's more "politically correct" behaviour.

By the way Cool , surely your wise man was wise enough to say that at a moment where he could unmistakably be supposed to be the only acceptable candidate. You say so, and of course I surely will. I am undoubtedly the most benevolent dictator of my own private life. Trouble comes with accepting somebody else should be our benevolent dictator. I certainly do not accept todays democratic mayorities as candidates to this utter important post. Not the way they behave nowadays (related to Stars! only if you want to limit the scope of my statements to stay on topic). Wink

If we were esteemed intelligent 'enough', they would have contacted us.
If we can not find them, either we are not smart enough, or they are smarter at hiding.
