This is just one scenario that I thought of, I'm sure there are many more problems that can arise with their lack of slaries.\r\n\r\n1) ARs will be in session for at least one week a month, for at least nine months (I know this can be extended or shortened). This is problematic for many people who hold **average** jobs. If you owned a company I can guarantee you that you would not hire, pay _(for time being absent)_, or keep a person who has to leave for at least nine weeks out of each year. This is almost as long as maternity leave. Also you cannot expect this to be the sole work of an AR; members of any parliament do much more work outside of being in parliamentary sessions, thus further constraining the average citizen from being an AR.\r\n\r\n2) This now leaves the position of being an AR to wealthy individuals, and/or individuals that will take in donations for income.\r\n\r\n3) Liberland will now be a plutocracy, and the ARs who accept _\"donations\"_ will essentially be lobbyists.\r\n\r\nI think you should reconsider your stance on the salaries of ARs. Without ARs receiving a salary it will make it very difficult for the average citizen to be an AR."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/liberland/constitution/issues/comments/227533056","html_url":"https://github.com/liberland/constitution/issues/492#issuecomment-227533056","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/liberland/constitution/issues/492","id":227533056,"user":{"login":"liberlandcitizen","id":12785672,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12785672?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen","html_url":"https://github.com/liberlandcitizen","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liberlandcitizen/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-21T18:41:42Z","updated_at":"2016-06-21T18:41:42Z","body":"I'm not so sure that \"in session\" would equate to full-time work for the\nassembly, I believe this means that those weeks are the weeks they can hold\nvotes/meetings. Please correct me if I'm off base here.\n\nA small country of just 7 sq km shouldn't need a lot of governance,\nespecially one that favors limited government. I would think that monthly\nmeetings for a few hours each month will be enough. Meetings could be held\nin evenings or weekends and since we're a modern country I feel meetings\ncould even be held online.\n\nIf we can write the nation's constitution while holding down other jobs,\nand do it without pay, I feel assembly members should be able to do it as\nwell.\n"}}
