TECH DEPT: Remove send to parliament related parts from API code

[ilmartyrk]

As sending e-mails to parliament was RAA specific solution and the part of code that executed this feature got removed, code needs a little cleanup. #77

• Remove redundant tests
• Remove config items not used anymore
• Remove e-mail templates
• Check if anything else needs to be removed

Triage 60. Code cleanup. Est. cleanup time 30 min. Sending to development.

Just an idea, but since RAA has almost no collaborative features (aside from comments), perhaps instead of pruning this off of Citizen OS, we include it as a full-fledged feature. So that if you want to actually have a collaborative decision-making process and then send it to the Parliament, you can. RAA holds no monopoly over sending issues to the Parliament. Anyone can do it.

Very much agree. One more thing that RAA is missing is the opportunity to make balanced voting. By that I mean that in RAA you can only support the topic, no matter how the question or statement is raised. That is causing petitions where one group is gathering support to "We support the continuation of Kersti Kaljulaid as President" https://rahvaalgatus.ee/initiatives/2fba409c-0030-490f-9fd5-52802777370d and other group to "We do not support the continuation of Kersti Kaljulaid as President" https://rahvaalgatus.ee/initiatives/c02ecd57-2ea6-487a-bebf-d6bd4aea857e
Our platform enables to ask in one topic what is the real opinion of people (either they support or do not support continuation of Kersti Kaljulaid as President). IMHO this system is much more democratic :)

Downside is that as this feature is usable only in Estonia (at least at that moment) and RAA is more used for petitions, we would create this only for a very small amount of people. AND people can still initiate petitions via COS and send it to the Pariament through other channel

@ilmartyrk will assume OK to go to 'later' as is an old, dormant issue
