I think I like the middle eastern soultion to petty theft, chop their arms off... imagine if it were on the scale of $100 million or more... As for parliamentary, it would likewise be easy to buy the votes of the members of parliament, so the form itself will not be sufficient to ensure a properly functioning government. mikel, you are right, there is corruption in many places.

Here in France, there is a multi-billion euro investigation resulting in charges brought up against big business and politicians. In the US, there are a multitude of corruption charges vs. politicians in congress, the Pentagon and big business. In China, they execute the guilty by musketry. The political system needs change. A parliamentary form of gov't. would leave the function of gov't. intact if a lose of confidence against the gov't. leads to the resignation of the PM. Let's think about that as a change tool.

Let us not fall for the gov't line that there is no better alternative to the current (corrupt) leadership or that joining rallies will scare off investors and derail our economic gains. (What gains?) As Gen. Danilo Lim said: "DISSENT WITHOUT ACTION IS CONSENT." Let us keep ourselves free from sins of commission but let us not fall prey to sins of ommission also.
