While the second Cities: Skylines game is slowly recovering following the departure of its creators, the original game is more than thriving due to its incredibly talented and active modding community. Now, that game received a major new fan-made mod called Politics & Elections that does exactly as its name implies.
The mod enables your citizens, and may there be many of them in every town you make, to vote in relatively free elections to support parties that eventually merge into coalitions. These coalitions and political powerhouses then force certain policy changes that you'll have to make, with the citizens themselves dynamically reacting to their own circumstances. If you raise taxes too high, don't be surprised if a liberal political movement gains power and makes you reduce it. Polluting the air too much? The people want those green policies enacted ASAP. You get the point.
