We're a democracy, but people keep electing Grin as D.E.R.O. because she doesn't try to push the parliament around and build up more power for herself the way a lot of past D.E.R.O.s did. Each election cycle the talking heads blather on about her being "nothing but a figurehead" and "shirking her responsibilities", but that's exactly why she keeps getting elected. She didn't even run the last two times and everyone just wrote her in. Parliament had an emergency session the first time to extend the D.E.R.O. term limits, then another the second time to extend the extension, saying that was easier than dealing with some over-ambitious blowhard. They can null the extension whenever they feel the need to, but everyone seems pretty comfy so far.
