[Discussion] Delegate Recall

[New Rogernomics]

Although that’s true in real life, I think it’s a terrible way of viewing a recall on NationStates.

Not so at all. If you remove someone from their political position for negligence or poor conduct, effectively you are removing them from political office, and effectively making clear to them that they aren't valued in or don't deserve that position.

That can't be considered anything else but a punishment, even if it is done by the best of intentions.

It is not at all like removing someone near the end of every 5-6 months or more, because as it stands Treadwellia has only allegedly been unsuitable in opinion, which is by no means a severe offense. 

If Treadwellia had done something grossly wrong, then I could see reason for a recall.

Historically though in the Humane Republic of Lazarus and the Celestial Union of Lazarus, both heavily democratic regions, recalls weren't used for inactivity unless they truly were inactive and 'unsuitable' i.e. CTE'ing and not participating at all.

So I don't think we should set a precedent of recalling just because we don't like how someone might perform, and instead use recalls for severe offenses.
