      Thanks, I don’t think it’s worded quite right though, because “in exchange for” implies the vote itself does something. The reality is that people are convinced to give away their power because they believe in the piece of paper.

      The oiece of paper itself is almost worthless.

      I only say that because I’m sure someone will want to split hairs over it.
