| The council doesn't actually do anything AFAICT, it just "approves" |
| 10 |
| GLEP decisions that have already been made. So in effect we have no |
| 11 |
| leadership. |

And that is a large part of the problem. Were the council less |
| 14 |
spineless, things might actually get done. |

The problem with a dictatorship is that when the dictator screws up, |
| 17 |
the damage is huge. The problem with a representative democracy -- |
| 18 |
especially when using Condorcet, which is highly biased in favour of |
| 19 |
moderates -- is that nobody is prepared to do anything that's in any |
| 20 |
way risky, controversial or useful. |
