I think it should be. You get the power over large sums of money and for that you’re liable with your life.

Problem is, you wouldn't find anyone willing to take that job then.
We're all just human after all and making mistakes is part of the human condition.

I think it’s a comfortable lie people say.
There’s so much that comes with the power that it’s a very shallow argument to make.

Nice system you've got set up where it's the job of the opposition party to demand removal from office, presumably without the parliamentary power to actually make it happen. So you get to be corrupt as you want, and when it's found out and nothing happens, the other guys take the blame!

No but you can sure fire them, in the private sector at least.
The 21 km/h above the speed limit would probably not make the auto industry very happy. What good is a Porsche if one needs to drive slowly?
You can't arrest someone on account of them being an idiot.
It's the responsibility of the other party members and especially the opposition to demand him being removed from office.
Funnily enough the Green Party demanded exactly that, but then again that's the same party that wants general speed limits...
So yeah, of course any party that wants to get reelected in Germany will stand behind that clown, as long as that clown fights for "Freie Fahrt für freie Bürger!" and lets them keep their drivers license, because 21 km/h above the speed limit is just a trivial offence...
