    In China they probably did not kick upstairs and lost their jobs.

    But if 500 were sacked over here for whatever reason it would be a good start and if election fraud was enforced most of the dems would be gone.

    -- More than 500 Chinese lawmakers accused of election fraud have been forced from office, the country's official Xinhua news agency reported.

    The officials were disqualified, dismissed or resigned on Saturday following elections in Hunan at the Hengyang municipal people's congress, the local legislative body.

    Or it could be more nefarious, like the party didn't want those people in office eventhough the people did. Nah, probably just what the Chinese government said. They were bad boys and girls.
