      I personally think that that would not be a good policy. Punitive killing isn’t a good way of running basically anything.

        I think there’s some way to stop people grabbing power out of a self serving motivation.

          The chief thing to do is make it not represent power. Modest pay, anti-corruption laws, recall elections, the ability to actually be held liable for crimes . . .

            I don’t think that works.

              I promise you that it’s a much better means of keeping political representatives under control than literally executing people who try and fail to be elected.

                I genuinely don’t know. Real talk instead of being glib.

                How do you design a political power that does not attract those who seek power selfishly?
