My point is simple - only politicians with true democratic intent have the courage to go to the polls - and typically such politicians have the strength to cope with the success or failure of such a process -a politician without the intestinal fortitude to deal with the process is not worthy of the voters support.

What i would like some comment on is this - when i vote for a person to represent me in government at home in Europe i would expect them to act with honour and if challenged to go to the polls to p[rove their mandate to govern I would expect them to go - I wish only to vote for strong honest people win or loose and accept the outcome - why would any government in the world, with honour, be afraid of an election to re-enforce themselves with a mandate from the population?

If it was my vote i would advise my elected representative to go to the polls to prove their mandate to govern - do we vote globally in the expectation of strong courageous representation or do we vote for those once elected to hold on in fear of the next election.
