Question
Some pesky citizens have started talking about elections, and many of them have already declared their intent to vote for a specific citizen rather than me. Luckily, my prison still has some space available...
Since the elections haven't started yet, would it be beneficial to have the citizen that is planning to run against me arrested? Can he still run while in jail? If not, will whoever replaces him have the same support, or will it potentially decrease due to the imprisonment and potentially having a candidate that is not as good of a match for the opposition's ideals?
Answer
Actually, it's the opposite of what you're thinking. If you arrest an opponent either before or in the elections, someone else would take his place with increased support, and the same ideals. As well, everyone who watched the arrest, and his/hers family will have decreased respect for you, meaning it will be more likely for them to vote against you. So it's not really beneficial to arrest anyone who's willing to go against you in the elections.
