In my opinion, the way around this problem is to set fixed terms for
elections.

D- A saying from the 1776 U.S.A. era --- Tyranny begins when annual elections
end.
The State of Connecticut had early elections for its legislature in May and
November for many years (i.e. 6 month terms).
Many so-called *modern* regimes in the U.S.A. have 4 year terms for many
state senates (upper houses of State legislatures) and even some state
representatives (lower houses of State legislatures) and many local
government legislative bodies -- a very dangerous trend.
The 6 year term for U.S. Senators makes the U.S.A. Senate very elitist and
non-responsive.
Since it is the voters who elect legislative bodies, it should be the voters
who have the power to have recall elections for legislative bodies (via
recall petitions).
