How is it that someone as dedicated as you are (politics is your life), someone who is as knowledgeable as you are, and someone who is as clever as you are, has so little influence, regardless of who is on council?
******************
And the sting is in the scorpion's tail.
Supposing my life is dedicated to politics as the game is played. And not to the community that chose me to represent them.
Supposing I am as knowledgeable as you say.
And as clever as you claim.
What does it take to be as influential as you think I am not?
How difficult can it be?
The last council thought they had the secret. They gave and gave and gave. No matter how outrageously selfish and shameful the demand.... council gave what was not theirs to give.
More often that not mine was the only opposing vote. Solitary status held out to prove my lack of relevance and how little influence I had in the scheme of things.
What is the scheme of things? Where lies the influence?
Is it with a bunch of toothless tigers seated at the table for a single term in office?
Or is it twelve thousand, full red of tooth and claw, who move things about a bit every four years.to better fit the scheme they have in mind?

Vengeance is mine, saith Evelyn.
Simply surviving when surrounded by a pack of hyenas is more than enough.
Speaking out on behalf of those who elected her is satisfaction enough.
Enough of these smart asses who can't tell up from down.
Why do you constantly refer to politics as a "Game". A game tells me that it is a hobby or recreation or a distraction.
If you were serious about politics, you would consider it your job and not a game.
