I don't know about what goes on behind the scenes, but from what I've seen Groogy usually is quite boastful about his accomplishments or plans, then ends up messing things up somehow. I very much believe this is his game to lose, given the nation he has and great position he is currently in. If he ends up with an office coalition against him, it must be because of something he did or said, rather than because of the game mechanics.
It's not just Groogy. His cocky acting might get him in trouble naturally, but if Wiz and Johan always end up running the show it's a group mentality I'd say.
