SF&F Avatar Contest: Politicians!

[Temis the Vorta]

Let's see those politicians, which I loosely define as "anyone whose job depends on getting elected to something." Hopefully that will cover everyone from Romulan Senators to Presidential heads-in-a-jar.

And no, Sarah Palin does not qualify by virtue of being a space alien.

I'd like to thank my constituents for their support and for being true TrekBBSers unlike those other people who are clearly from Fake TrekBBS. Poll goes up Friday.

Elected emperor? Oh well he's a sleazebag iirc, so he's in.

According to Wiki:

A politician (from Greek "polis") is an individual who is involved in influencing public decision making through the influence of politics or a person who influences the way a society is governed through an understanding of political power and group dynamics. This includes people who hold decision-making positions in government, and people who seek those positions, whether by means of election, coup d'état, appointment, electoral fraud, conquest, right of inheritance (see also: divine right) or other means. Politics are not limited to governance through public office. Political offices may also be held in corporations, and other entities that are governed by self-defined political processes.

Then again, Temis did say "elected" in her initial posts. Personally, I'd like to see it include "emperors" and the like, just so we could have a deeper pool of candidates.

Wikipedia is wise is all things! Forget the "elected' part then...there's always room for a crazy satrap or two.
