Personally I don't think its even possible to have a GM that is not, in one way or another, acting politically. The inherent biases that come with holding certain views (for instance, how you feel an increased minimum wage effects employment numbers) are going to come with whomever it is is at the helm. So I don't necessarily think that we can actually 'de-politicize' the position more than we can continue to pretend that the Supreme Court is an apolitical body. There's no such thing as being apolitical, especially when it comes to this position.

I would argue that what we need to do here is just face facts and use it as an opportunity to make the position one that can be filled by election. Let people campaign on what it is they want to do with the game, which storylines they'll pursue, and what they think the role of the position should or should not be. This eliminates the arduous search process (since only those who really want the job will campaign for it) entirely.

It's already political. You cannot remove politics from it.
