Politics can be cruel sometimes, that’s for sure. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash, for instance, many prime ministers and presidents were quickly removed from power in countries across North America and Europe by electorates furious at what had happened.
Some of these same leaders had only just entered office before the crash and weren’t responsible for the crisis. But they were given their marching orders.
Yet perhaps they should have accounted themselves lucky to just be out of a job. In earlier times, people in their position faced far worse consequences when things went awry.
Look at the example of Johan de Witt, the head of the Dutch Republic in the mid-seventeenth century, who, after a series of negative events in the early 1670s was murdered in The Hague on the 20th of August 1672. And then his killers at least partially ate his body and that of his brother Cornelis.
