Nerd,
Once again, I find your over-simplification on the question of democracy, well - oversimple.
An organsiation divided into branches suggests that the members of those branches have some sort of say in the policy and running of the organsisation - other than the raising of the arm to salute the leader.
If I join an organisation I want to know my voice is going to be heard and my money is going to be used for the purposes intended.
Are you saying that that does not, and need not exist in CCE? If this is the case, what is the role of a member.
