The IfA has a clearly defined constitution but is neither a quango nor a dictatorship. And everyone who is a member of the IfA has a say, but clearly many choose not to say a lot.
Your main objection therefore seems to be one along the lines of 'I'd happily join IfA if it were run by Stalin and the Politburo'......we live in strange times!!
