But, much as I sympathise with the left generally and the embattled unions in particular, they really shot themselves in the foot with this, it seems.
I'm uncomfortable about the whole recall system. Honestly, I think you should pretty much have to do something illegal. Or if unpopularity is the measure it needs to be a lot more robust. The number of people supporting a recall should be much higher imo. It is far too open to games.
Also, they really should have waited. They totally mistimed it. It takes longer for people to lose patience with an incumbent after an election.

At the same time, we look at you crazy parliamentary democracies and go, whaddaya mean the whoever can dissolve the thingie whenever he pleases, whaddaya mean vote of no confidence. I kinda see this as a similar structure.
