Should players receive points based on the amount of political power they have?

I think that this could be one way that players could earn points but i also believe that this should NOT be the only way to earn points. I feel that people that are given the positions with less political power should still have a voice in this world. I feel that that is one problem in our world- people without representation or that have been politically disenfranchised do not have a voice. I feel that if only powerful political people were able to get points it would just be a continuation of that same disenfranchisment that we experience in our world today!
I think players should not receive points based on their amount of political power. Realistically however, this is the case in real society with chair holders and those with positions within the government. The world is often good to those who know 'the right' people and have networking power as well as those who hold esteemed positions within the government or important companies. This shows a real inconsistency within real society. Interestingly when I think of the game world, I am reminded of the matrix in that the matrix is the real world and the game world is the dream world. The game world allows for anything to happen without affecting real life, similar to the dream world in the film. Despite this, even though privilege and advantage are a part of the real world, everyone should be on an equal level within the game world.
