Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Politician for White Dwarf #74, and stated that "Anthony is handing out personal political solutions to contemporary matters, which is wearying since you're constantly translating back into twentieth-century terms. His heart's in the right place, but the ending is a cop-out, with the constitution being set aside owing to Hubris' immense popular support. Oh yeah?"
