A block vote for the LC in the Assembly is actually far more representative than other proposals that simply create a list of subjects that get devolved to a regional poll. The LC would get a say in *every* vote. Criticizing the LC as a popularity contest is just criticizing representative government entirely. We cannot have a functioning "lower house" of thousands of players. That's just a system that will be manipulated by TG campaigns, meaning those with money or those with scripts will have a large amount of control.

Granting a block vote to the LC balances the goods of RMB representation against the bads. The LC may elect to hold polls to determine its block vote. It's up to them, as a devolved government.

Asking RMBers what they want is largely useless. They're going to want as much power as you will give them.
