In ancient Athens, citizens could vote to ostracize politicians for ten years if they were seen as dangerous or overly powerful. Do you think introducing a similar system in today’s representative democracies — where, say, at the end of each term, the public could vote to suspend 10–20 politicians from holding office for the next decade — would make democracy stronger, or weaker?

It's a thing which conditions their behavior, making them unfit to deal with a wide range of experiences, many of them not bad at all when dealt with properly. It takes a great deal of courage to feel whatever we are feeling and to understand that feeling, thinking, speaking and acting upon are totally different things, with different implications.
