Istm that there will always be at least a small percent of 'edge cases' which even the best designed and implemented routine process will not be able to handle, for one reason or another. Of course ideally that edge will keep being pushed back; what was a far outlier occurance in one decade, may be routinely handled in the next. (Eg, gay and/or trans people coming out and demanding spousal benefits.)
Chris, do you think the majority dislikes any and all process, per se? Or just processes that don't fit the current near-edge situation/s, or are inefficient, or corrupt, etc?
Of course there are bad reasons for disliking a good process, too. (Eg, organizers of a mob wanting to lynch someone before tempers cool, even when a trial is scheduled and there is no urgency in the actual situation.)
As for an ad hoc tyrant who refuses to quit post hoc, a really well-designed process would both allow for calling him and have as default a limit on his term.
