Yes, I think heads of state should be prosecuted more often. As an American, the lack of prosecutions here is quite troubling to me.

I mean, I think the problem is that they're doing crimes more than their frequency of prosecution.

I'd like to believe "more prosecutions will discourage politicians from doing crimes". But there's a gap in enforcement, wherein you can get all the way up to the PM/Presidency by committing crimes with impunity. And then you only get caught when you finally lose an election.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
