Is it possible that our political system is now so complex, vast, expensive, and top-heavy we will see only narcissists and sociopaths climb to the top?
It's the greatest weakness of our political system
The only people who want the highest level positions are
precisely those who should not be there
Yes, and the fact that we refer to ‘the top’ is part of the problem. Top of what? It should be clear to most of us by now that most people off the street would do a better job than those in elected office. These days politicians represent some of the most mediocre people in society, from an ethical perspective and the perspective of talent and creativity.
