De Quiros has his own modest proposal to solve GLORIAGATE

Check it out. Here's part 1.

UPDATE: Here's part 2

Key point, he is for snap elections:

My own proposal is a snap election for president. Only the presidency is vacant, the only position that needs to be filled up.

I have no illusions it will solve anything at the level at which the more serious alternative-seekers want to solve them, call it structural, fundamental, systemic. But I do think it is the one thing that advances those things, by giving them a crack at the bat, or a chance to be heard at all.

It is the one thing various groups can agree on that will evict the squatter from MalacaƱang posthaste. None of the scenarios being advanced by various groups can work with Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in power. She is the single biggest obstacle to them. At the very least, that is so because she works at cross-purposes with them. The entire thrust of the alternatives is to make the country's institutions more democratic; the entire thrust of Ms Arroyo's rule, particularly given its survival mode, is to make those institutions more dictatorial.

Read the whole article.

I have my own proposal too. ;)

The temporary transitional government seems to be a good proposal. Clean up government and then hold a credible election is fine.
