Nitpick: Are these properties of the _class_ or of all such cards in
the class or both? It looks like you mean both, which would be nice to

Should we secure some changes to card holdings?

Sentence fragment. (The exploit of a backbencher card is INEFFECTIVE
if its target player is in the same party as the card's player (ed:
put some defn in "Playing Cards" for this?)?)

R955 instead.)

I don't like the "race" between the cabinet secretary and the pundit
here. Can we make it so the pundit and cabinet secretary can't make
the same proposal {democratic,ordinary} twice?
