10 Worst Politicians In Video Games
5. Jock Cranley & Sue Murry (GTA V)
When it comes to satirical political commentary, GTAV’s candidates for Governor, Jock Cranley and Sue Murry are note-perfect. When it comes to actual policies, these authoritarians are both as crazy as each other, but that’s politics for you.
The beauty lies in the fact that each character is the extreme caricature of how the other side see their rivals. Republican Cranley’s a tax-cutting NRA nutjob; Democrat Murray is a patronising state-solves-all liberal who plans to tax San Andreas into oblivion. But while Murry is the personification of an out-of-touch metropolitan liberal elite, most of GTA’s ire is directed at the immigrant-hating Cranley. And we get that – we’re talking about a former Vinewood stuntman who chucked his own wife off a cliff because she wanted to destroy Jock’s ‘dreams of success and happiness.’
You can tune into their bickering debates on talk radio, and chances are you’ll walk away with a clear idea of who to vote for: Neither of these two ball-bags.
