Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The “Honorary Post” members of the German local assembly acquire the information about the needs and opinions etc. of citizens they contact through their daily working life. And they play a central role in realizing “Bottom Up Democracy”, by using the information for their activities in the assembly and delivering it to the federal state's and national politicians. And they understand the importance of “Honorary Post System” for ensuring the close proximity of local governments to their citizens etc. and keep trying with ideas and effort to maintain this system, despite that it becomes more difficult to keep a balance between their seats and jobs because of the advanced and specialized local administration etc. and their overwhelming majority are of opinion against the abolishment of “Honorary Post System”.
