I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't, very rarely do the important things get put to a referendum for the population to vote on. It would also be practically impossible. The only voting that takes place is to decide which clown you want to serve as your representative at each level. Afterwards they tend to fuck you.

So it would be best to choose the clown with the smallest feet ? :blink:
