Teledji was a tool, in every sense of the word really. Imagined himself to be a lot more politically savvy than he actually was.
As far as everything else goes, Lolorito needs the support of the people. He doesn't mind being seen as a ruthless businessman, but if he's seen as a cackling puppy kicking lunatic, then the mob will rise up against him, and like Ala Mhigo, the place will tear itself apart until Garlemand steps in and is like 'Oh, are you guys not using this city? I'm taking it. Thannnnksss.'
