Government Office or Title en
This type is for the office, title, or position within a government. The names for topics of these types should be specific to the region they govern (i.e., "President of the United States", "Mayor of Toronto", "Member of the Scottish Parliament" as opposed to simply "President", "Mayor", or "Member of Parliament". This is because the property "jurisdiction" connects to the are governed, and is the primary way that politicians and public servants are connected to the places they govern. Thus, the topic "Prime Minister of Australia" (and therefore everyone who has held that office) is linked to Australia via this property.For more information about entering the people who have held this office, see the help topic Entering information about elected officials and public servants.
