The council has a more important matter to address, which is the upcoming election day.
During this period, the council members always become overwhelmed.
They must secure more votes, and even within their districts, there are challengers aiming to unseat them. They need to give public speeches, make promises to the people in their districts, and show the achievements of the past few years.
Of course, more often than not, it's just empty promises.
Except for a few districts, most of them don't have much to show the residents.
The power struggle within the council has become increasingly turbulent.
They spend half their time forming alliances, and the other half indulging in the luxurious life of high society. As long as they put in some effort at critical times, it would mean another three years of good times.
