Ugh. We need a balance of power for mayors. I hate that the game is set up like a dictatorship and its nearly impossible to boot out the incumbant.

I managed to declare residence in my PA Hall, hence voidingthe defaultresidency inCity Hall. But I remained as Mayor.
Don't ask me how.

Anyone know what would happen if the current mayor dropped all Politician including Novice? Would that get him booted?

With regards to the dictatorship in player cities, it's only due to citizen apathy that it's like this. A bit like real life really...

Dropping Politician when you are the mayor will simply make you a mayor with no powers. You will still be mayor, but you won't be able to manage the city using any of the powers that your politician skills would otherwise give you.
I'm considering doing this just so I can at least temporarily use my skills elsewhere. If my citizens want a mayor with skillz, they'll need to vote for my opponent, curse them! Seriously though, I'm trying to lose an election but we have too many less active/non active citizens and I can't lose.
The devs need to add the ability to RESIGN as mayor of a city. Best way for them to do this: add a resign option for the mayor on the vote terminal (or some city hall terminal). The resign option sets the incumbent votes to 0. Thus, anyone running against the current mayor would likely win. (could have it set the incumbent votes to 1 just in case that's necessary to avoid having a mayorless city, if that's some problem because of the code.)
