QUESTION for the policy wonks out there:
What's a straightforward definition for "accountability mechanism"?
@andrewstroehlein.
Ask five questions: What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?’ If you cannot get rid of the people who govern you, you do not live in a democratic system.” Tony Benn.

I’m saving that quote, as it can be applied to a lot of what we currently have in the US.
