Play or work in someone's favour?
Hello everyone,
I think it is fine to say that something "works in someone's favour"
but what about the verb 'play'?
Can you say:
"X.X’s management of the situation in Berlin played in his favour in the nomination." (context: nomination to a higher post in a political party)
Or should I substitute the verb with 'work'? Or some other verb?
Many thanks, looking forward to your opinions!
