I believe there is a difference between saying something along the lines of "we recommend that the Assembly review this issue taking into consideration the contradictions reconciled in this ruling, if it so wishes" and saying "we recommend that the Assembly pass an amendment, as a matter of urgency, to reinstate the voided provision". Furthermore, two of our Local Councillors were elected back when the position was closed to citizens, so their positions were never in danger by this ruling.

Basically, my problem is that the Court has adopted the position that the LC should be open to non-citizens, when it's not its job to make such political determinations.
