I think there is to a certain extent a critical mass to democracy. Resident's associations can be a serious issue, even if democratic. Ofc, town meetings allow more direct democracy. This may be more to do with the lack of representation though. I wonder would resident's associations work better if there was proxy voting allowed. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
