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?
Elected. They don't serve any useful purpose since the EU is run by
unelected bureaucrats, but they're
elected.
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! :-))
My local councillor is elected. Is she counted in this scheme of
things? Local government is
government and getting elected is politics. Even though it has US
connotations, a general term
might be "representative."
office=government
government=constituency_office
or
government=politicians_office
???
Leaving is as office=government is too broad .. could encompass a
taxation office.
