Impeachment
and Recall - last resort
Citizens must
have the right to depose politicians when they are considered to be
ineffectual or detrimental to the interests of the
community.
This is illustrated by the present situation in
Hungary where the leader of the government was caught out admitting
that the election win was achieved by being less than honest during
the election campaign.
It should
not be necessary for the outraged citizens to rampage through the
streets before they get noticed. The civilised way is to launch a
referendum demanding the impeachment and/or recall of the government or minister
whose performance is considered to be unacceptable. Everyone would
have time to put forward his arguments and only if a qualified
majority can be organised the person(s) concerned would be forced
out of office.
