A difficult choice, and surprisingly, both in
some ways are the most "sympathetic" of
the rogues in this gallery.
Old Man Willow
and his chums have been harassed, attacked,
and destroyed for centuries with their patrimony
drastically reduced- more then any by relatives
of the very people going through his forest remnant.
And
The Master (related to
Dr. Who's
old nemesis?

) while he was the teensiest bit corrupt,
did a good job seeing to the economic and political
health of Laketown (including solid Laketown/elf relations).
So since I'm in a state that is going increasingly blue
I think I'll go for the candidate who (with all his flaws)
is more attuned to
vox populi .
