On The Payroll Of The Trade Federation is a Dark Interrupt (Used Interrupt) from Coruscant.
Card Text
Target an opponent's character at Galactic Senate if you have a senator there with a matching agenda. For remainder of turn: your senator's politics is increased by target's current politics, and target's politics is then reduced to zero.
Lore
A political agenda is no use without supporters. And in the world of politics, left and right often meet in the middle.
Joke
Left and right "meet in the middle" on the same payroll, as when big donors in the 1996 United States elections gave to both parties.[1] A 1907 cartoon, "The Fat Boy in Politics", shows a fat man feeding both the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant.[2] See Jokes.
