Rockstar makes fun of the political process and its excesses

Developer Rockstar reveals that GTA V will take place during an election campaign for the position of governor and allows players to take a quick look at the two candidates that are battling for it.

The team says, "Sue Murry running against conservative challenger and famous star of screen and TV, Jock Cranley. The future of San Andreas hangs in the balance so get out and vote!"

The clip above is the one for Jock Cranley, who is designed to embody all the worst aspects of the Republican Party, and below players can take a look at the spot for Sue Murry, who does the same for the Democrat.

Rockstar continues its tradition of delivering a virtual world that's filled with irony that pokes fun at the most sordid aspects of real politics and economics.

GTA V will be out on September 17 on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
