The lack of accountability isn't helped by the fact that terms can be 1, 2, 4, 6 years and it's incredibly difficult to remove someone once they've been elected. Many voters often have short-term memories and are so pre-occupied with life trying to stay afloat they can't keep track of politicians to hold them accountable during th next election. They end up forgetting the issues they had after the past election, eat up empty promises yet again, and re-elect the same people or new faces and names with the same platform of lies and lack of representation of their constituents, over-and-over again. Said politician is then free to step on the backs of their voters for some period before the next campaign for election starts without fear of being removed from office.
