Interesting then to wonder how large a popular, peaceful protest is required to be to force a govt to resign w.o the need for an army coup
@XinJeisan people always have reasons to take to the streets, in ballot-only democracies. This is why the right to protest is protected.

@asteris i wasn't clear with my answer, but your question was to change the gov't, not change a policy. -
@XinJeisan by taking to the streets in indignant protests, Greeks managed to topple Papandreou, but not austeritarian policies -
@asteris that seems to be a major issue everywhere, much easier to change people than change policies.
