Democratic Integrity
There are few nations in the world that can claim that they have democratic integrity and those who do are often no better than the sham democracies that exist in the rest of the world. Democratic integrity recognises the will of the people even if the laws aren’t perfect. Laws are made by those voted into power and those in power often make laws as norms dictate even if it means someone will eventually protest it.
There comes a time when those in power must realise that they are accountable to their people and that means that if something isn’t right that they should return to the people for approval. To ask the people how they’re doing.
A recall vote. Or as people in the real world like to call this: performance review
A voluntary recall vote is a sign of democratic integrity because it means those in power realise that they may not be fit for the job. There is one government that this surely applies to. The socialist government of Bolivia and its president Evo Morales.
I’m only including a screen capture because the title is just so stunning to read. Politicians are not normally associated with honesty and integrity.
Stumble It!
