    The problem is that non-sociopaths don’t seek power. Public service is looked down upon.

      Yeah. Like the old adage of whoever seeks power is least deserving of it. It’s a difficult thing to combat.

        I can’t remember if it was Asimov or Heinlein (maybe Clarke), but one of them said that an elected official should be drug into office kicking and screaming, and only be allowed to leave when they’ve done a good job.
