I personally believe in a dissolution of the TM constituency, that it be absorbed within the BC.  After all, the lawyers are hirelings of the Business 
Constitency and its community.  As Kent Crispin keeps trying to convince us, the BC represents "all" business interests, surely those who 
speak for the BC should only be allowed to speak on their Clientele's behalf, and not on their own.  Unless,of course, the NC is meant to be weighted in 
the interests of the BC, thereby necessitating a TM trump card on the NC.  (how's that for jargon?)

As for other constituencies besides the Individual, what need will there be for any more?  do some groups of Individuals have more rights than others?  
Ultimately we're all Individuals!  If the IDNH is allowed, and it gets its act together properly, in the end there will only be an IDNH constituency!  The 
Revolution will not be Televised! it will be Multicast by democratic majority vote.
