Political power meaning the ability to influence the policies (including but not limited to Laws) of the country/jurisdiction where they reside.

Reduced could mean anywhere between complete loss and negligible reduction of influence.

Resolves to the largest percentage after 90 days, unless both Yes and No are a minority of percentage, in which case, highest % alternative answer is chosen.

This means it is possible for an alternative answer to be higher than either yes or no and still lose.

This question is posed in order to tease out whether production economic value is causative of political power, whether it merely correlates (for example wealth buying influence), or whether it is completely uncorrelated.

A scenario which might occur in the not too distant future some people's labour will be worth less than a competing automation, even when exploiting their comparative advantage, they would be economically outcompeted.

Assuming disemployment can happen at all, (I anticipate interesting discussion on this matter), will people's political clout, and thereby ability to effect their society fall away?

@thepurplebull Could you define what this is so that I may avoid this in the future?

@JosefMitchell The market is vulnerable to particular investors (whales) injecting an extreme amount of liquidity into one option, nearly guaranteeing the outcome in their favor while most other investors lose
