Hello, the never ending scaling debate and ever rising bitcoin fees are driving me crazy. I know we have UASF, but that's not the most elegant solution. So, I have a bold idea. What about establishing Bitcoin parliament. Instead of traditional political parties, there would be crypto parties (that's a horrible name, indeed). So there would be something like Bitcoin Core Party, BU Party, Bitcoin Classics Party and so on. And around 1/3 of the parliament would consist of independent representatives from industry (exchanges, mining, wallets and so on) and independent developers.

Thanks to a wide variety of people, we could have a really good discussion and mainly, if the parliament gain enough authority, results from debates in parliament could be actually implemented in the bitcoin code itself. This might really help with bitcoin development. All talks will be obviously online, with audio only (transmitting video from dozens of people at once is a bad idea).

The only problem is electing the parties. Which parties will have the privilege to talk at the bitcoin parliament, and how many people from each party. This might be a tough problem to solve. But this is just a crazy idea, isn't it?
