No, I agree with you! I would think either of the 2 basic we mentioned should fit office=government or office=politician 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? 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! :-)) Thanks Graeme
