<<Btw, making any agency accountable to populist voter pressures is the quickest way to create a tyranny of special interest politics.>>

& doing it to a lesser extent is to create the tyranny of "all powers in the same hands" James Madison wrote so well against in Federalist Paper #47.

While I don't agree with "pure democracies" couldn't the current status of the IMF be best described by the situation our founding fathers spoke & fought against & died to prevent, "Taxation without representation"?
