In the States we do have the ability to impeach ... I'm sure all the council members have something to contribute; I'd like to think that's how they got there. BUT - having been in the software bus a while I can say that some of the most brilliant coders and engineers I knew should never - ever! be put in a public facing position.

And it's not really because of what they would say or whether they were right or wrong ( usually right ) but HOW they would say it. I guess all the smarts took up all the room for tact and diplomacy.
