Guillotines don't fix fundamental flaws in the system. The French chopped the heads of the elite and it didn't change anything because they didn't fix the flaws in the system. New elite replaced the old elite. Did you read my post? It'd be better than guillotines.

I did. I still think holding politicians to their word under penalty of death is a good thing.

Allowing politicians to do reprehensible things and punishing them after won't stop them from doing reprehensible things and trying to get away with it. You'd need a ministry of truth or some kind of dictatorship for that. Read about the French revolution, it teaches lessons. Also look how France is today. Point is, block them fundamentally from doing reprehensible things, by transparency and power modulation.
