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>

<div>Thanks</div>
