Saying all that democracy is the best we have at present but politicians should be more accountable, look at the mess Bush and Blair made of the world and they just walk away making loads of money on the speech circuit.

My only point of concern is that I don't feel we will follow the pattern into a dictatorship. Back when these 200 year cycles of dictatorship to democracy and back again happened, dictatorship was "accepted". Nowadays after the world wars and other wars that have involved ousting dictators, dictatorship would never be allowed again.
