    Would these councils be elected by the people they represent?

    Would they sit in a parliament and form a legislature?

    That just sounds like Canada.

      Not exactly. The lowest level of councils is free for everyone to attend to. These neighborhood councils send delegates to the city level and so on. These delegates are revocable so when they don’t do what the basis wants, they are gone. Also on each level, each group can opt out if they want. And decisions are made on the lowest level possible so much more voluntary and less central than Canada
