Exactly, you get to call for an election right? We're stuck with it for how ever many years are left on in the term. Bush is a great example of how a President (and his govt) can fuck up beyond reason and still be in pretty much no danger of losing power.

That's why I tend to sympathize with small govt movements here in the states, not because its better but because bad leadership here can potentially do a lot more damage. Think about that from the view of a conservative starring down 4 years of a President like Obama (or conversely a Dem looking at 4 more years of Bush) you can understand the fear that permeates the US sometimes when it comes to politics.
