And that is a misconception. All authority should be derived from |
| 23 |
popular vote. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
As soon as one elected authority appoints another authority, the |
| 26 |
system is screwed and the division of powers rotten, because the |
| 27 |
elected authority will likely not appoint another authority that could |
| 28 |
make their lives more difficult (and that is what happens in virtually |
| 29 |
every organization I'm aware of including governments, courts...). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
That's the same with comrel. They are loosely backed up by the |
| 32 |
council, but there is no proper constitution process. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
However, that process is not strictly required to fix structural |
| 35 |
problems... unless we turned bureaucratic. In that case I want to vote |
| 36 |
on the QA lead. |
