The Orange Revolution in Ukraine swept out a band of entrenched politicos at the top, but it failed to remove the structural factors that foster corruption. Changes must include election of the heads of the four branches of government and restrictions on the number and lengths of terms they may serve. In addition, 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year and elections should be free of charge for all candidates. These moves will make public opinion a regular part of the lawmaking process. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
