Don't think this thread talks about that Chenier.
Kinda sounds like it, to me. It's already easy to hold lord-only referendums. But in my experience of lord-centered politics, many people don't like those, because the votes are secret, while many favor the lords publicly stating their positions on issues being voted upon. A message group was therefore a handy tool for such semi-public votes.
Of course, and general chat, too.
