I think it's required. Have we more members, there's a good chance you won't have to be a representative.

Let's also have some input for the following.

-Decide on a non-representative party member to be your vice president.
-Decide on your motto.
-Decide on your slogan (yes, they are different)
-Decide on a mascot. Considering that our past mascot, the Moomba, has been taken by the Newbie Party, with the hiring of shion, the ferret is now our mascot. Yay for ferrets!
-Draw a sigil/crest for your party.
