Hooray for quitters!
Governments and corporations work properly when the leaders are willing to quit. Lifetime appointments and dynasties destroy feedback.
I've been saying for a long time that we need more quitters, and now we have two outstanding examples. Cameron in England and Renzi in Italy.
Both sensed that their rule no longer had the CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE. They did THREE THINGS. They ASKED the people, and then they LISTENED to the people, and then they GOT THE FUCK OUT when the people said No. All three steps are UNPRECEDENTED AND STUNNING.
This is truly TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for an error.
None of this ever happens in the USA STRONG dysgovernment. Our dynasties and bureaucracies continue forever and ever and ever. We never ASK the people what they want, we never LISTEN to the people, and nobody ever QUITS when it's clear that the people are ready to revolt. Our monsters always say "I take responsibility" after "mistakes were made", but our monsters never actually TAKE responsibility. They only TALK responsibility, which is NOT THE SAME THING.
