You're right on that last one, AD. In a sense I think we should be making it easier to be a politically apathetic but deeply active Talossan, doing good work without having to "take sides" (except in the sense of a secret ballot every eight months or so). The less administrative power (as opposed to a necessary political oversight role) in the hands of the Kingdom Government, the more "a hundred flowers can bloom" and the less the question of which party or group thereof takes power becomes the be-all and end-all.
I still don't think that the "strike" law (making casting a vote a way to retain citizenship) or the public ballot (which requires one to nail one's colours to the mast, as it were) are good things in that regard, but I doubt there's a majority for removing them at this point. Those are hangovers from King Ben's era in which partisanship was literally everything.

Plus, let's not forget why Wittenberg is so political now: Wittenberg, back in the days, was both the forum for Talosssa AND our version of Facebook.
We would share our thoughts, mind, achievements, ideas, movie reviews ON Wittenberg, not in Facebook!
