micro's, how do you say, a libertarian - not that there's anything wrong with that.

Libertarians are (read: should... if they aren't then they are not real libertarians, perhaps members of the "Libertarian Party") in favor of the legalization of drugs. On the political spectrum they are economically AND socially permissive. Whereas Republicans are (fairly) economically permissive and not socially permissive. Democrats are (fairly) socially permissive and not economically permissive.

take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.

But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified
at a special biweekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs."
