the devs themselves claim to have made a equally balanced real life representation about politics.
If by balanced you mean that both sides are equally wrong and will give an intentionally flawed argument then act like you're a monster when you disagree with it.
Healthcare
The Undead position is that they know the will of the 7 and I'm wrong to approve it because I presume to know the will of the 7.
Gay Marriage
According to Scarlett if you oppose gay marriage then you're forcing them to get married to the opposite gender. Is this a custom in Rivelon? If it's well known that someone is gay they have to get married against their will? I don't think that's how it works in the real world.
The emperor's counter argument is also quite flawed. Unless Rivelon's customs also force gay people to conceive, keeping the law or changing it isn't going to influence birth rates.
Also the undead reaction is rather bizarre.
Ghouls coveting not women as they should; hags longing for anything but the male touch!
If this was already happening they weren't going to stop because I left the law unchanged. Or does he think changing the law to allow marriage will suddenly turn them gay? He keeps reminding me that I don't speak for the 7 yet he seems have mistaken me for one of them to think I wield this much influence. Do the undead even have gender? It's rather meaningless once the flesh has rotted away.
Tax the church
The Undead proclaims this heresy and the Elf acts like I'm forcing the church to close.
Drudenae
Once again the Undead position is that they know the will of the 7 and I'm wrong to approve it because I presume to know the will of the 7. While the Dwarf position is that the drug will be handed out like candy and everyone will be an addict despite assurances of medical supervision.
Euthenasia
Undead, will of the 7 hypocrisy. The Dwarf acts like I'm giving doctors permission to murder someone to relieve them of an allergy. Though the Imp's comment suggests I just pardoned an angel of death, in the real world it's the patient's decision to be euthanized and the doctor would assist but not make that decision them self.
Imp Family Planning
The Elf apparently is unaware that Imps are intelligent with the abilty to responsibly raise large families and compares them to rats.
New Roads
The Elf seems to think that making a road through a forest is the same as leveling the entire forest.
Republicanism
At this point I had a 100% approval rating with the Lizards but they still label me a despot.
Maybe it's an accurate portrayal of politicians but as for the political issues themselves the devs apparently picked only the worst arguments to represent either side.
