Her choice to get elected on a royalty review. Unfortunately it wasn't a smart political move if she was seeking a second term.

Royalty reviews should happen and should happen often. The oil industry are the ones who choose to scream bloody murder at the idea of paying more so they use scare tactics to discourage it. They use the same old tired bs lines of "uncertainty" and "instability" to scare people from checking up once in a while to see if they're paying their fair share.
That's how I see it and probably how most people outside the oil industry would see it too.
