I don't use the political system to upkeep myself, nor do I go to the funnel and get my upkeep. it has required me to play one character for a long time to simply not deal with any of the clutter so I can simply enjoy the game. any comment I make about the system is simply how I feel, I could care less how convoluted, difficult to use, complex, and horrid the system becomes, it really does not effect me at all, nor any of my group. ^_^
I talk a lot with Matt, Christen, and Jared. all of whom have much more experience then me, but also have different views on things. Matt just asks if something is fun, he has no tolerance for something that's just not fun. Christen loves Roleplaying and Lore and is just fun to talk about races and the world. Jared deals with all mechanics and political aspects of FH, so we really get to arguing over the mechanics behind things.
getting to sit between these three very different people and listen and talk with them has given me great insight into FH and Larps in general.
Jared and others that know and deal with the political system do think its awesome and easy to use, and if you complain about something will answer like above and say your complaint is unfounded at the system does do what you want.
Matt will listen to you rabble about numbers and percent's and territories and managers and will get bored and go play something else.
Christen as a player will do her best to understand how it works in game and will try to work and bend it as best as she can. . .only to find out later she was wrong. . .again

whatever you all designed the political system to do and claim its capable of doing is obviously not what's going on. here is what the political system is in FH/WH, plain and simple.
the jumble of territories that requires so much back work by the GM's produces a massive amount of resources / money / commodities
all of that gets funneled to the managers who have been picked because they will either hand over or sign over everything to the one in charge
the one in charge then upkeeps everyone in town and allocates where the extra gets spent / put / etc.
