That would just give another char more chances to win the next election, since he was already punished and by the laws, the first offense mus be a fine of 50 gold.
There seems to be a disconnect between the law in your head and what is actually written down. Celine could have fined you anything between 10 and 200 gold. She chose 50.
But that's neither here nor there. This situation made me realise the allowed amounts were too small in general, it doesn't mean it was a specific issue in Sirion.
