I think in the Polittical machine, our canidats should be able to be independent. It could lower our chance of winning by 4.5% but, it would make the game cooler.
I would like to see this feature too, although I understand it would require significant modification to the game engine.
In the interim, since such a change would probably not happen any time soon, I would like the ability to import a party platform and the ability to replace one or both of the other main parties, and possibly the independent party if possible.
