Seems like it should be a mandatory part of the job. Senators should have scheduled town halls in every district in their state, Representatives should have scheduled town halls in every municipality in their district, every year.
It should be, yes. The good ones are already doing this, but there absolutely should be some requirement to make the lazy ones actually do their job.
And, ideally, we’d have an active and informed constituency that keeps their representatives honest. They should be terrified of being voted out because their constituents keep their feet to the fire.
Ideally, yeah. But the mandatory town hall thing seems a bit easier to actually achieve. Have you met the constituency?
Lol yeah that’s the issue. You cannot expect people to put rules on themselves like that if nobody is going to enforce it. It truly does fall to the constituency to be the enforcement by voting them out when they abdicate their responsibilities.
