Why take away the democratically elected Local Council?
Because that amendment in question does not do that. It constitutes a series of minor language changes, which has no effect on the nature of the Local Council.
Except that it removes charter power from the LC from what I see.
What do you mean when you say "charter power"?
I mean it removes the ability to make polls, have a local government on the game side, and removes mod power from the RMB from the charter.
The legislation in question does none of these things - if it did, I would be voting against it. The powers of the Local Council are not changed by the amendment.
