IF you could “vote out” a politician and stop him or her from participating in politics for a decade, who would you choose?
On Wednesday, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia leader Datuk Wan Mohd Shahrir Wan Abd Jalil shared a Weird Facts post on his Facebook: “In ancient Athens, the world’s first democracy, they had a process called ostracism, where once a year the people could vote on the politician they thought was most destructive to the democratic process. The ‘winner’ was banished from Athens for 10 years.”
