Also at NR, the editors point out that the recalltugs representation in the direction of plebiscite. Representative government depends on a degree of trust, and on drawing proper conclusions when trust is violated. We may pick our representatives, and throw them out when their terms end. But while they hold office we should be stuck with their bad behavior, limited by the checks and balances of other office-holders.It's worth rereading Edmund Burke's Speech to the Electors of Bristol from time to time.My worthy Colleague says, his Will ought to be subservient to yours. If that be all, the thing is innocent. If Government were a matter of Will upon any side, yours, without question, ought to be superior. |
