Probably why I thought office=politician would be better than
office=government. <br>
<br>
This is to map the personal usually local office of some usually
elected representative .. so locals can communicate to them and
they can communicate to locals (who usually elect them). It is not
about the </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">executive, the legislative,
and the judicial branches' but about a politician trying to
maintain some connection to the people that usually elect them
.. so they might get re-elected. <br>
<br>
Have I put enough 'usually' in there to keep the edge cases
happy? <br>
<br>
<br>
An example?<br>
Tony Abbott ex PM, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tonyabbott.com.au/">http://tonyabbott.com.au/</a> Has an office at </font></font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">Level 2, 17 Sydney Road, Manly, NSW 2095 Australia.
It is not the office of the Liberal Party, nor an office of what
ever role he might be playing in parliament. It is an office of
Tony Abbott the elected representative in this area. <br>

To me these are all 'politicians' or at least serve a
political role when acting (I hope) on our behalf to
represent 'us'. <br>
Don't think every situation would be happy with
'parliamentarians'. <br>
<br>
I am not going to try and distinguish between the
various levels - upper and lower houses, federal, state,
local, unions etc... <br>
That could go in the description, far too many variables
around the world for a single system I think. <br>
Lets get the first level of tagging done before
contemplating a more complex area?<br>

<div>No, I agree with you!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would think either of the 2 basic we mentioned should
fit office=government or office=politician </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Question though (more for someone in Europe) - is a
"Member of the European Parliament" elected, or just
appointed by their home country? Are they a "politician"
as such?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there another overall term for elected people?
(& yes, I can think of quite a few terms for them, but
I don't think we should be marking any of them on the map!
:-))</div>
