I absolutely agree that political office holders should be held accountable for their actions or inactions. That would be more effective in developed countries where the rule of law is respected. In developing countries, politicians flouts the law with impunity. Corruption has made it so easy for people to get away with criminal acts. And the common man ends up being the one to pay the price, sometimes, the ultimate price! So sad. Until we begin to engage our politicians and make them realize that the power to make or mar them is in our hands, things may not change for the better. Some of us sit back and don't get involved in political processes. If you decide not to vote, because you hate politics, then don't complain when that 'bad guy' gets into power because others voted him in! Thanks @thecryptofiend for this thought-provoking discourse.
