In Fable 3, all your political decisions as a monarch come down to "Do X or Y" based on what your advisors tell you. X is either 'do nothing' or 'do something reasonable as opposed to Y' and Y is the worst thing you can think of.
For example, one decision is "what do we do with all the poor children on the streets, of which you were once a part of?" and X is OPEN A SCHOOL while Y is INSTATE CHILD LABOR FOR THE CAPITALIST WORMTONGUE FIGURE.
Much nuance.
Also, the best way to win the game is to amass a lot of property and be a landlord who charges high rent. People will start hating you (), but you can just lower the rent to the minimum level and they'll like you again
Fable 3 taught me that there's no point collecting rent from the poor, because they have no money, so you should set their rent to zero so everyone loves you while making the rich pay double to give you a fat treasury. It also taught me that every public works project can be funded easily if the state just takes ownership of all land and housing.
