If the ruling coalition picks an unpopular leader, the voters can still punish the party(s) at the next election. So its a lot easier to get rid of a problematic politician without having to wait for a specified term to end.. I mean, we picked our president in a pretty direct way and we got eight years of Bush.

It's not the same when your elected officials appoint people. There's no position too important for you to vote on, nor is there a position not important enough. Introduce dogcatcher elections for what I care. In America they even elect school boards. IMO, the more things you get to vote for DIRECTLY, the better.

I agree with you completely. Nobody elected the guy (at least until he can make himself somewhat legitimate in the next by-election) and yet he has somehow become 'our leader'. That has always bugged me. But then again, so do a few other things about "democracy" ... the best of the worst and all that. A personal pet peeve of mine.
