[QUOTE="Grendel_Khan, post: 8802084, member: 7028554"] Magical Industrial Revolution is, as usual for Skerples, a damned delight. So many excellent tables, and sections like this that cut to the chase while providing clear social commentary: GETTING ELECTED Only men can be elected to Parliament. In a fine and well documented tradition, any women who wishes to exercise political power selects a dull, pliable, or unscrupulous person and uses them as a proxy. Everyone knows who actually holds the reigns. Only members of the Upper Class can stand for election. A campaign costs 1,000gp and has a 50% chance of succeeding. Making friends with a Minister increases the chance to 80%. Well-documented public heroism may guarantee election at the GM’s discretion. Campaigning takes place during the Off- Season and requires no particular skills or talents. Giving a speech or two is traditional. Elections are held once every 2 years, just before the start of the Season. Only men who own more than 1,000gp of property can vote. In some districts (known as Rotten Buroughs or Pocket Boroughs), one wealthy property owner has the one vote and can elect themselves, a relative, or a suitably eccentric or obedient friend. Endon is essentially an oligarchy. [/QUOTE]
