Werewolf Politics And Bureaucracy

There seems to be a divide between total anarchy and the justification of having a werewolf council to keep everyone in check in the first place. And yes, they are generally ineffective. Sadly, that's kind of the point of bureaucracy, and good bureaucrats know it. You get a handful of things done, but it's really all about making sure that power struggle continues. If the power struggle stops, someone will step into the resulting vacuum, and almost all of the time, it's going to be the last person you want in power. 
Werewolves work the same way! They don't do a lot as a council to go after each other, but they also prevent anyone from stepping in and going full werewolf dictator of Michigan.
