I thought the choice to almost summarize the encounter with the politician---one long paragraph, no dialogue---was interesting. It doesn't hurt the story as far as I can tell---it's just an unusual choice. The emphasis is on the final scene, in which we learn how little connection the main character has to the people around her. (I only realized as I wrote that how cool and ironic the title is.)
