Suggestion on Elections

Currently, if you're unconcerned about morale levels, you only need to decrease taxes to up your morale for the turn of elections... which is a bit silly.

It seems pretty clear that the game logs morale levels, so why not use *that* for their voting preferences? That is, if they've been really unhappy for the past year, use that info -- don't let a sudden tax cut make them the happiest people in the universe willing to serve you. Could even weigh the past couple months more heavily.

Actually, the present system is tragically realistic. People have very short memories when it comes to elections. An "October surprise" in the form of a quick tax break would probably bring a landslide election in most countries. Sad but true.
