Still, good luck.
You're blaming the electees for the apathy. That's a logical fallacy.

In addition, low voter turnout does not ipso facto discredit the possibility of true representation, which in this case is determined more by diversity of the elected body and goals of each.

The council can in no way whatsoever be considered anything remotely resembling a "king's council". I respectfully request a little more intellectual honesty.
