Representation (legislative branch)

Representatives are elected officials responsible for the quality of legislative procedure. Their role and responsibilities are described below in the legislative procedure.

The number of representatives of a node is low enough so election ballots are not overly long, and high enough to represent different agendas, as dissent is an important driver of good decisions. (e.g. 5)

A property of the decision-making procedure is that each proposal have an issue representative. The issue representative is the one initiating the given proposal. The issue representative have the same powers as elected representatives, related to the run of the decision-making procedure, and in the node where the run is currently in.

The individuals eligible to be elected as a representative are:

• The elected representatives of the node below
• Individuals who have been elected or issue representatives in the node before
