Such a resolution would be in contravention of Article 1 of GA #2: "Every WA Member State has the right to independence and hence to exercise freely, without dictation by any other NationState, all its legal powers, including the choice of its own form of government."

More generally, you seem to assume it has to be either a representative democracy in which a citizen's involvement in politics amounts to putting a cross in a box once every 4 or 5 years to select the least unappealing option among largely indistinguishable candidates or else outright dictatorship.

Right. Who's idea was that one? :lol2:

OOC: For reference, in RL, apparently there was a bit of a fuss raised in the USA during WW2 about whether American military personnel overseas would receive ballot papers.

From what it looks like, I've been defeated on this one again. I'm starting to understand that this would be a rather pointless and overbearing thing to attempt to pass. Abandoning the thread, and onto greener pastures.
