I was trying to think of all the ways that the UWA Student Guild is accountable to the student body, and I really can't think of that many.

Quietly optimistic.

By whether they buy memberships or not.

The Student Guild has representative democracy (and a few other, very seldom used, mechanisms). In this, it is very much like, say, the government of the state, or the nation.

Representative democracy is hardly representative at the best of times.

I wasn't arguing particularly for or against that proposition - just pointing out that the problems of representative democracy are hardly unique to the UWA Student Guild.

True.
