Point(s) taken.
My main concern/feeling was relating to, for example,
UK MP's or running for Prime Minister. I accept that I
am guilty of over-generalisation, as I am sure that there
are some people who enter the political arena with the best
of intentions ... unfortunately we all know where they lead
I think a system of random selection would actually be better
provided that no one person or interest group held power
for a long time.
