I like this definition. It makes sense to have one or a small selection of elected officials to make decisions that need to be made quickly or that it’s difficult to come to a complete consensus on. But if those requirements aren’t met its very likely a decision made by public consensus.

One thing to point out: it doesn’t say “elected”.
In theory it might be just the best leading person for a role.
That in itself is the most complex issue in my opinion: where do leaders come from and how do you make sure that they don’t overstay their need? It’s an unresolved issue and democracy is our best answer yet, in my opinion.

I say we do it like jury duty. Make everyone do it at least once.

Haha ja association is “ah damn but I didn’t wanna build a hospital! I’ll just take those people and material and we’ll build a the night awesome cemetery ever!”.
Dunno why my mind went there but I’ll have to thank you for that!
