Oh, I see the confusion.

I'm not trying to justify Venat's actions here, whether or not she was right or wrong matters very little in this context, I just want people to actually get the facts straight regarding Convocation - they were not democratically chosen and they did in fact make decisions for all of society with zero oversight or accountability to the public at large (there is no mechanism for citizen to remove a convocation member making decisions they disagree with, they would have to either retire or be ejected by the other members. Not democratic.)

Not everything has to lead back to Venat being right or wrong here.
