SYSTEM WRONG Most countries in the Western world are able — in the event of the undemocratic workings of a politician — to bring into effect impeachment and remove the offending politician from office. In New Zealand, however, no such machinery exists. This, I believe, is prejudicial to the good and trusted workings of Government—both national and local, and is something that needs to be put right as soon as possible. Politicians, regardless of their field of endeavour, make mistakes, or prove themselves to be unsuitable for their chosen calling. When this happens there is no recourse left other than to request that the individual resign. This can be a laborious, time-consuming strategy, and very often the offending person is able to further implement mischief before surrendering their office at the elections. Perhaps this is something that our local MP should take up. J A Rotorua
