Feducci's campaign was all about throwing over the existing social order ... by Liberating it ... this is what Revolutionaries want ... he is one of their own, if not in membership, then at least in ends (and, given his penchant for violence, means).
Jenny granted Dock favours because she worked very hard to improve their lot ... helping her was helping them.

I think the item gains from this card are a bit random - I just protested against Feducci and only got 1 Incendiary Gossip, and I want to say that someone got 2 Tales of Terror for losing the luck check. So it might just be a simple 1-2 of the 50p items for the two options.

It's rather frustrating. This is exactly the kind of thing I would have wanted to come up during the election. My character hates the revolutionaries with a passion and yet campaigned ardently for Feducci because she is close to Hell and admires the Presbyterate. Had I known during the election that his term in office would aid the revolutionaries I would have supported one of the other candidates instead.
Having my chosen candidate loose I can deal with, at least then I would know I fought for what I wanted. Having my chosen candidate supporting the one thing I hate without having even a hint of that during the election, that is a rather bitter pill to swallow.
Well, here's to hoping that the story and meeting at the next festival are entertaining enough to make up for it.

So the mayor lied about something.
That's not very surprising going by his track record.

Feducci assisted in the Seasons of Revolutions in Hell. Those same infernal revolutionaries are now collaborating with their mortal counterparts - particularly in their shared experiment, the Iron Republic. To be honest, I thought everyone knew this.

I mean, we did try to make it clear Feducci's not exactly an honest person...

I've never left London to visit the Iron Republic. It's on my list of things to do whenever I feel that I might be able to muster the... enthusiasm. So I had no idea Feducci had anything in particular to do with London's revolutionaries. The Season of Revolutions is something that was only brought to my attention during the election. I'm woefully uninformed, aren't I?

While there was that infernal campaign manager to imply that a vote for Feducci might be a vote for Favours: Hell, I thought that it was fairly evident that his political platform would end up serving anarchy and revolution, whether that was his aim or not. Though I certainly didn't expect that it would serve the Revolutionaries to the extent that those would be the Favours we'd get.

I'm pretty confident Feducci is not himself a LoN Revolutionary, his ideas are way too different - "Climb the Chain," "Equality in Death." But he's obviously willing to throw himself in with them for his own reasons out of their mutual distaste for law and shared affinity for violence. He probably thinks he's using them and they probably think they're using him.
So who do you think would come out on top, the immortal dilettante or the Calendar Council?

I contend there were plenty of hints as to what was to come.
But it's not too late to oppose him ^_^

Gotta admit, I'm a little fascinated by the apparently popularity of viewpoints like "I'm all for overturning the social order, and 100% on board with factions whose entire way of life - perhaps even their very conception of reality - is entirely different to our own, but I won't have anything to do with those darned Revolutionaries!"

I mean there's a difference between "overthrow the social order" and "Destroy all light and laws". When it comes to revolutionaries it's hard to see that line with the people in that faction.

If you think about it, the erradication of light is the overthrowing of a more ancient and pervasive social order.

A reminder: While ultimately most if not all revolutionaries are steered towards aiding the Liberation of Night through the Calendar Council, that does in no way mean there aren't revolutionaries who don't know and/or don't care for it.
The revolutionaries are a very divided faction. Feducci being in cahoots with it alone says nothing about wether or not he's thrown his lot in with the Liberation crowd.

I don't think Feducci is in cahoots with the Revolutionaries. It's just that they benefit from his activities, so they're most likely rewarding people who take part in those activities to encourage those people to keep doing so.

FL might be trying out a new kind of game mechanics here- a mayorship that actually has narrative weight (and it does) and something of a year-long plot. If so, I wouldn't be surprised if the options on this card actually changed with time and new developments.
For now Feducci might be allies with revolutionaries, because they're both being constricted by laws and royalty or what not (GUNPOWDER PLOT GUNPOWDER PLOT GUNDPOWDER PLOT DO IT YOU COWARDS), but ultimately Feducci seems to be aiming for making society into a ferris wheel (missed linguistic opportunity. its called "devil's mill" in polish)- up and down, up and down, and quite fun to ride. Or maybe rather rollercoaster. Or anything else that makes people with weaker stomachs nauseous to ride (hey there, Iron Republic). But not to turn the carnival lights off and end the fun for everyone. Also, DTC could later give way to certain investigative lady sniffing around Feducci's activities etc. she did say the election fight wasn't for nothing. OMINOUS. I for one would love a reactive mayoral card that changes as time passes.
edit: fixing wonky english.

Feducci worst mayor confirmed. The mayor card is a waste of deck space, now.

Idea: Just add an option to the mayor card that has a #% chance to give the player a random favour from a random faction.
Yes, randomize it twice. Fair Play, Fair Game.

There is no third way.
