A strong judiciary is important in any democracy,
as it can balance the powers of the executive and of the legislative.
It is clear that elected officials should be held accountable for their actions
that are directly relevant to the post they were elected to.
One obvious example is former US president Donald Trump for its 2020~2021 coup attempt.
Another example is the Supreme Court of Israel considering a petition against a law
that would protect PM Netanyahu from being removed from office while on trial on corruption charges.
Corruption is a cancer that eats away at the very heart of democracy and undermines social justice.
The continued failure of most countries to significantly control corruption
is contributing to democratic regression around the world.
Political accountability is when a politician makes choices on behalf of the people,
and the people have the ability to reward or sanction the politician.
