| Message | We can see where you are coming from here, but simply put, this move limits representation. Being a legislator requires full time commitment, and if there were no pay associated, only the richest members of society could afford to be elected. |

| Message | A /plurality/ voted for legislators to have no salary in that opinion poll, and a very narrow one at that. The fact is that about 79% of people in that opinion poll do want legislators to have a salary. In any case, our prior argument still stands. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
