And, ideally, we’d have an active and informed constituency that keeps their representatives honest. They should be terrified of being voted out because their constituents keep their feet to the fire.

Ideally, yeah. But the mandatory town hall thing seems a bit easier to actually achieve. Have you met the constituency?
