The Ascending Council Chain
Power originates at the grassroots. Neighbourhood assemblies directly elect local bodies, which in turn send imperatively mandated delegates upward through every tier.
Neighbourhood Council
Base Unit of Democracy
The fundamental foundation of all social administration. Every resident participates directly in regular neighbourhood assemblies to deliberate, decide community matters, and elect accountable delegates.
Local Council
Municipal & District Coordination
Composed of delegates elected directly from neighbourhood units. Local assemblies coordinate municipal infrastructure, public utilities, transit, housing, and social distribution across towns and boroughs.
Regional Council
Territorial Planning & Ecology
Formed by delegates mandated from local councils. Regional bodies supervise ecological watersheds, inter-city transport, healthcare networks, regional supply chains, and industrial synchronization.
National Council
Federated Member Republics
Convened by delegates selected from regional councils. National assemblies harmonize economic balances, civil legislation, and resource distribution within each constituent nation of the commonwealth.
Federal Council
Supreme Commonwealth Coordination
The pinnacle federation assembly delegates elected from the national councils. Responsible for macro-economic federal planning, inter-republic solidarity, global relations, and defense of the cooperative commonwealth.
Subsidiarity & Democratic Funding
Ensuring real grassroots sovereignty through autonomous decision-making and federally guaranteed material resources for every political tendency.
The Principle of Subsidiarity
Decisions Made at the Lowest Capable Tier
Every social, economic, and civic decision must be deliberated and resolved by the lowest council tier capable of dealing with it effectively.
Higher councils never usurp matters that neighbourhood or local assemblies can govern autonomously. Centralised intervention occurs exclusively when coordination across boundaries, regional ecosystems, or federal solidarity genuinely requires higher-tier jurisdiction.
Federal Funding of Councils
Guaranteed Budgets & Proportional Allocation
Council assemblies are directly financed by the federation's common treasury to safeguard total political independence from corporate or private interests.
Once funds reach each council, they are distributed equitably among every represented party and political caucus according to their mandate strength, allowing each tendency the resources to produce their literature, host debates, formulate policy proposals, and put their piece into practice.
1% View Granularity
To guarantee that no political tendency or minority perspective is erased by first-past-the-post distortions, council assemblies are calibrated with scientific precision.
Multiples of 100 Delegates
Local, regional, and national assemblies are deliberately structured in multiples of 100 delegates (e.g. 100, 200, 300...).
This mathematical alignment ensures that any coherent viewpoint or platform held by even 1% of the represented population commands at least one full voting delegate on the floor of the assembly.
How the Delegate Chain Works
Unlike bourgeois parliamentary representation where politicians wield unrestricted power for terms, council democracy enforces direct mandates and continuous recall.
Neighbourhood Vote
Neighbourhoods hold continuous assemblies and elect representatives directly into the Local Council.
Local to Regional
Local councils select delegates to advance collective policies into the Regional Council in round multiples of 100.
Regional to National
Regional councils mandate delegates into the National Assembly, maintaining proportional fidelity down to 1%.
Federal Federation
National assemblies elect delegates to convene the Federal Council, preserving unbroken accountability to the base.
Pillars of Council Democracy
Imperative Mandate
Delegates carry binding instructions from the assemblies that elected them. They are executors of collective decisions, not independent rulers.
Instant Recall
Any council tier can recall and replace its upward delegates at any moment should they deviate from the agreed mandate or lose assembly confidence.
Strict Subsidiarity
Authority remains at the grassroots: no decision is escalated upwards unless the lower council cannot effectively manage it alone.
Federated Party Funds
Councils receive federal endowments and allocate funds across all council parties, empowering each caucus to make their piece and publish their view.
