Slightly agree

No, recall campaigns are astronomically expensive and let angry fringe minorities paralyze democracy

While there is a legitimate concern that well-funded groups could use recalls to paralyze progress, completely denying the community this power limits democratic engagement.

Strongly disagree

Relying on party leaders and established parliamentary hierarchies reinforces the very structural power dynamics that equity advocates often seek to reform.
