Excellent post. Excellent idea. Well presented. We really do need a council and in combination with that some kind of "real" people to liaise with the comunity on behalf of the Steemit team as @steemship proposed.
To make a parallel with British politics, we need a "House of Commons". Whales already have their voice heard and listened to.
Exactly. The Whales are like the House of Lords. Without a council of the "commons" our voices will continue to be unheard.
