With regard to "officials’ comments".
There is a great novel by Robert Sheckley, "A Ticket to the Planet of Taranai," where there was an ideal society. So, there the manager could become absolutely any citizen of society and could do absolutely anything, but along with the powers he was obliged all his official term to wear a medalion with a bomb mounted in it. Every citizen at any time could press the “for” or “against” button, responding to some actions of the official. And if a critical number accumulated (I don’t remember exactly what the limit was), then the official exploded to the whales and were looking for a new victim for the post of manager.
The customs of Taranai were, of course, far from ideal, but the Taranai thought in the right direction, didn’t they? and ;)
