All Mr. Watson’s proposal does is concentrate power into the hands of an even smaller group of powerful career politicians, with little difference of opinion between each, and then create an extra level of government that would have no real power. What we really need to do is disperse power amongst such a large variety of people that being an elected official would lose its necessity to be a full-time job. Mr. Watson wouldn't agree though. He probably believes that ultimately, the best type of council is a council of one -himself, and no opposition to Our Dear Leader!
