The local MP and MSP will each gain two ex-officio dots in Influence. While they have no stautory authority they are loud and powerful voices that carry some weight.
The Mayor and Leader of the Council will each receive one dot of Influence ex officio. They carry some weight in their local community. With regards to the particular functions of the bodies they oversee, though, they will have an effective Influence of five. Members of the Town and County Council will not receive any dots of Influence normally, but will have an effective Influence of three with regards to the functions of their bodies. Council employees will not receive any Influence but may be persuaded through whatever means to do anything within the power of their jobs.
Parish Councillors will receive no Influence.
