The difference is that no one organization would be making the laws and not everyone
would be living under the same law, you get what you pay for, you get what you think is
really important. Example: My PPA strongly embraces capital punishment, your PPA is anti
capital punishment but only moderately so. Everybody can't get exactly what they want and this
issue is more important to me than to you, so if you kill me your fate will be determined by a
arbiter known to be in favor of the death penalty. On the other hand if you had paid to join a PPA
that was fanatically anti capital punishment then the arbiter would be someone who opposes
capital punishment.
