Having job requirements for public officials MZs are not "public officials" in the sense of employees of the State. They are representatives of the people. If the people WANT to keep electing do-nothing hand-raisers who never contribute, that's their prerogative. Inactive, slothful citizens should elect inactive, slothful legislators. Wow, I got through that sentence without making any nasty comments about the RUMP MCs. .... damn

Voting certainly seems like a requirement to me, since you lose your seats if you don't. Well, yes, the Vacate Clause does automatically vacate an MC's seat if they fail to vote in two clarks, but that has been loosely defined to mean voting on the VOC or abstaining from all votes. Essentially, it's not much of a "you must vote yes or no" and more of a "you must simply vote present." So I'm no sure voting is a requirement in the way you seem to be using it. Merely stating once a month that you're present is a requirement, but not stating how you feel or how your party feels about a particular vote.
