Only the most popular and well known individuals (all men) have any chance whatsoever to be elected. Name recognition is the sole criterion by which men can be elected. And then, once elected, they are utterly unaccountable, since all their official votes within the UHJ are kept secret. Thus, if you have a vote of 5-4 on a crucial decision, you are not permitted to know which five voted in the majority. And even if you would hope to unseat all nine members, then once again, only the name-recognition factor is at play, men who are already favored by the status quo.<br />In such a system, real reform is impossible.<br />Unaccountable governments are pre-programmed tyrannies.<br />Tyrannies which view themselves as infallible are draconian tyrannies.
