Time-locking power

By default, for all of history, we have "time-locked" power with politicians. 

Whether it be a king, emperor, dictator, president, senator, or minister.

Civilizations tend to see lower corruption and pettiness when those time locks go down in duration.

Follow me to read about a vision for a government that won't piss you off.

In this system one could gain and lose votes with every single decision.

To me, this seems like the best default.

Time locked power -- where someone has special influence over others for a time regardless of in the moment popularity -- probably has great uses during turmoil.

But it should not be a governance default

How far in this direction of making power ephemeral can we go? 

The most ephemeral type of power I can think of comes from a transitive delegation system, where people get more votes based on the number of people who delegate to them, combine with their delegate's delegates, etc.
