Make the moral decision when giving the option. The game will present you with a variety of situations, typically with moral or immoral choices. Choosing the immoral choice will almost always result in higher stats, but the incident always has a threat of leaking out to public, which can result in your immediate resignation. Avoid this by choosing the moral decision and, consequently, the citizens will be hard-pressed to impeach or remove you from your leadership role.
Practice as much as possible. Like anything else, practicing can improve your general knowledge and skills with the game. As you grow more familiar with the game, don't be afraid to experiment with new strategies that can suit your individual play-style.
