Two words: Margret Thatcher. Though in general I'd agree.

I do like the new recruitment process, but I think it may be making it a bit too easy to train persuasion, and to make matters worse, by training up persuasion, the new recruitment process allows you to have a single slick huckster of a donation collector finance, well, all your operations. As of now, you can just go and string along 5-30 recruits at once (or 4-8 lawyers/socialites), make them come back for a day or two, and then burn them all for a pile of cash. With fairly low effort, a single "collector" can be pulling in well over $1000/day, and to the best of my knowledge, this is "safe" income.

I'm not sure this is entirely bad (it's like we get our very own Liberal Televangelist), but it does seem a bit out of whack.

If it's not too hard programming-wise, I'd think that "mis-aligning" sex and gender in public should arouse conservative suspicion (and/or add another crime to your rap sheet) if the political climate is bad enough. Same would go for hitting on same-sex/gender targets in the company of conservatives (or perhaps moderates too if the climate was really sour).
