After a lot of thought, I gotta say that I can see why there were a lot of issues with our regional government. While I've gotta say I'm still opposed to the republic idea that's been thrown around, and I still prefer an entirely open legislature, I'll try not to take criticism of our Glorious People's Democracy so close to heart.
That being said, if oligarchy is a concern, if someone proposed disenfranchising the founder committee I could possibly be convinced.
