    Sounds like the Republicans have taken over the council. ;-)

    there has been a coup alright! the ones who think their way is the only way and therefore everyone has to agree or else,, or else they will gerrymander. Democracy is no where near as creepy as 1 party dictatorships. Doe the Mayor have any power or is he just a figurehead?

    According to the history of the story, the Mayor doesn’t figure at all.

    No help there.I would think if I were encased in an isolated cell with nothing to read or do, I would not care one way of another what the (&*&% was going on. Sure, do what ever you want to do. We don’’t get to witness this though, which might be a release from boorrrddduummm. Maybe they get to eves drop???? Or watch the catch and torechure ( or however you spell it, damn red waveletts. )You would think that those leaving would warn those entering.
    What a lousy job!!!

    Question is, if no-one knows who’s on the seats, how can anyone know for sure the bums have actually changed recently? Has someone figured out how to skip the rotation and become a “permanent member” on this security council?

    By choice he’s just a figurehead. He wants no responsibility. The only reason he is mayor is that no one else wants the job.

    “Question is, if no-one knows who’s on the seats, how can anyone know for sure the bums have actually changed recently?”

    Speech patterns would change, at a minimum, as would personalities. A lot really depends on how the details of selecting and bringing in people are implemented. Remember, with the Al and Gustine arc, there were several mutants (Mole and Crawford) that also worked in Security beyond just the rats. Some of them would be informers for Jackrabbit. Allgood isn’t going to be able to pull a complete coup without the opposition groups getting wind of it. So, the system works as long as everyone works to keep everyone else honest.

    Looks like even Endtown suffers from “Big Brother” syndrome. Anonymously, of course.

    It’s not impossible to figure who’s on the council. Someone with time or resources (like Allgood) can investigate who’s missing from Endtown. The tricky part would be somehow colluding with any of them without the others knowing, or bribing or blackmailing all of them at once.

    Or a councilor without scruples could reveal his identity to grifters (like Allgood) and offer or take favors.
