I have always thought law makers should have their head in a guillotine when they pass legislation. That would hopefully give them an awareness of the seriousness of their work, and the gravity of potential consequences.

Why not all the time... Spout bullshit in an interview? Off with his head! That seems to be a movie plot? "Congratulations on your swearing-in, congressman. Now we'll put on the guillotine collar around your neck."

  I think this is a great plot. However, to make it more interesting: 1) who or what controls the guillotine collars? 2) if you say something in an interview and your head doesnt leave your body. It must be true, right? RIGHT?! 3) at some point a few adversaries that are questioning the guillotine suddenly tell a lie or pass a bad law and get "Sepped" (the slang for head and body SEParation, i.e. your head gets chopped.). 4) going against the party is "objectively" a lie and all people who dont fall in line of "truth" get "Sepped" 5) a law gets passed where everybody wears a mandatory guillotine collar. "We are a Republic of truth! Do you have things to hide? Are you a liar? Then you must fear this law. Only the morally corrupt will fear this law! All true citizens of the Republic will welcome this law."

  It's the premis of an old Dr Who arc. The planets leaders life is televised at all times, and they are subject to a continuous live electronic popular vote that's going on at all times. When it dips far enough they die and the next one in line takes over.

      I can't figure it out. I'm only 80% sure it's one of the old drs. ... maybe 60% sure.
