Given the relatively unsurprising results of the Australian Federal election, can anyone remember the satirical SF novel where anybody who wanted to could be a politician. They simply put on an explosive collar. And when sufficient people voted for that politician ... "pop."

Alternatively there is always the electoral system in H Beam Piper's Lone Star Planet. Although, truth to tell, I'm much more enamoured by the Terran Government in that novel.

Can anyone think of other suggestions for the proper disposal of politicians from the pages of SF?
