What kind of choice is that?
As for them being elected by a majority, well it's only a majority of people not disillusioned enough quite yet to feel that they are wasting their time voting, and NOT a majority of the population. I'm sorry, but there is just no way that any REAL power would allow itself to be able to be simply voted out of office. And nor would that power allow someone who could seriously challenge the status quo reach a point where he or she COULD make a difference.
