Hello again rai130

You probably need to help us out with some clarification.

I don't feel at all sure what you mean by "people .. represented by
their local authorities". Can you explain this more fully?

There can be a problem with one question asking about several
different countries. It may be a separate research job for each
country, requiring different background knowledge and/or language
skills. And in the US, it may be a state-by-state job. It may even be
difficult to translate the British concept of a "local authority" into
other systems. For instance, are you interested in city or county
government in the US?

Maybe if we were clear about exactly what you want, we could answer
your query about pricing, but I suspect this may be a rather
time-consuming piece of research.

Hope one of us can help you with this - we appreciate your questions - Leli

Thank you for your advice... I simply needed an average (does not have
to be the exact average) number of persons represented by their local
council. I think in France it would be the municipality for example. I
appreciate this is a large question and I didn't really expect anyone
to answer it (not for that money)... pity I cannae afford any more...
oh well, never mind.
