Seppuko......suicide by gutting one's self with a knife or sword. Politicians could use a less honorable form of Seppuko by using a broken beer bottle, a stick, or anything that would ensure their demise to the benefit of us all.

I would like for them to be open to the people and not lie, not to hide everything in their past locked away cause that only leads to distrust and most likely proving they have something to hide
