	No, I think the answer has been 'this is under consideration'. I think your understanding of the thread is lacking.

	No, it is a pointless and annoying game.

	Democracy does not consist only of voting. Consultative committees etc are part of the process.

	You may continue to attempt to demonstrate the overall incapacity of such representativity if you wish. I'd rather attempt to get some value out of whatever process we engage in. Each to their own.

	'fascist' is not quite invoking Godwins law, but close.
