Why don't you just use your almighty "veto power" again if you disagree 
And if you didn't feel it was a good idea, why did you start a poll on it?

THe problem with governors is that they take all power away from the city planner! If the cities are split into groups and the gover\nors each have one what will the CP do???

Not necessarily. If we decide there are ten cities/province, then we won't have governors for quite some time, for example.

No, because the very first province will exist from the beginning.

Which is controlled by the City Planner

so in other words the city planner is no more than a governor...
TEchnically, we could end up not having governors: If the prez doesnt want to make any provinces AND the people don't post a poll to overrule him we will just have one big province  !

To a certain extent, yes. However, the city planner has more authority than governor, is higher on the CoC, and has other responsibilities. If that Board (whatever it's called) materializes, the city planner would have a lot of say. Also, typically the first ten cities are the most important, and by the time they have been found the most important decisions have been made, IMO. Every choice made in the first 50 turns or so impacts the rest of the game exponentially. Also, the city planner will post polls for what to build in situations where there are many possibilities or objections to current build queues. In the long run, let's say we have 100 cities (pretty likely, considering map size), do you really want a single person making the build queues for all of them? It would be exhaustive, time-consuming work for one thing, and it was also be very unilateral, as the city planner would obviously not hold a poll for every build queue between every turnchat.
