My view on this (not the councils), is that the constitution is binding and anyone who doesn't follow the constitution can be expelled from the group.
Motions that pass with a majority consensus are expected to be followed by all members, but there is no immediate penalty. However, overtime, the members will see those that are team players and those that only support their own agenda/ideas.
I am okay with a bit of horse trading as they call it. Assuming a motion is supported by the majority, I will support it to maintain our unity and collective power. In turn I hope my ideas will get a fair hearing and the support of the council.
