Surely activity isn't about how much is contributed but how many people are contributing and by how much. Elected legislatures just put a cap on activity.

We have tons off post everyday in the spam are and general discussion are, from both MPs, citizens and the queen. Our laws make sure that even if you are not elected to the legislature you can contribute your own drafts to the MPs for discussion and voting. The RMB is getting a lot of posts everyday from people both on the forums and people only in the region. The Skype chat is very active with 1000s of posts everyday from citizens and others. So no there is not a cap on activity by Balder having an elected legislature.

3. Citizens can't participate in legislative activity unless they are voting members of the legislature. Again, this is false. When elected legislatures are done right, they provide incentive to know what's going on in the legislature and to be engaged as a citizen, even if you aren't in the legislature yourself. Elections provide incentive for being informed and engaged, in that you're more likely to be elected in the future if you remain informed and engaged.

Just to clarify this point. Citizens are elected as MP's to the Storting yes, however we still require a citizens vote in order for new basic laws to be introduced and for current basic laws to be amended.

In that article, Fudgetopia laments the "party image" of TSP and how she wishes the region could shake it off so the region would take matters more seriously. Sir Paul comes to call TSPers, quite aptly "Bleeding Heart Partying Isolationists (with lampshades)."

So the purpose of the elected legislature is to draft and introduce legislation to be voted on, then? And what about constitutional amendments? Genuinely curious, Balder's laws aren't typically available to the public.
