The Soviet Federation will be run more like a municipal government. Each member has the right to vote in elections but referenda will disappear completely from general governance. Instead, constituents will be represented by seven Council Members. The basic premise is the same as two elements of American politics at various levels: 1. the Council is like the Senate where each state sends two senators 2. It is also like local government where there are numerous political factions or affiliations that must cooperate to get a task completed. Some are independents and others belong to blocs.
