Thank you to ALL candidates who stood for election and demonstrated democracy in action!

Congratulations to Bagheera Kristan, incoming Chancellor!

Congratulations to Gwyneth Llewelyn, Tor Karlsvalt, Rosie Gray, CLEOPATRA Xigalia and Shep Titian - the members of the 20th RA !

People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote -- a very different thing.
