Just a side comment -
The middle and lower classes do not have as much of a say because they are uneducated and naive. For context, it's like giving Dirty Love and I the ability to make serious political decisions in Darkfall for the guild. I like to think DL and I arn't complete morons, but if you give us the ability to make ally/war decisions, LoD would be bound out of a hamlet right now.
There are far too many morons. Yes, some of our leaders aren't as bright as half of our college students... but then those students should major in political science and law, not liberal studies.
