    The fact that these experienced politicians whose judgment you appear to trust, have both decided to work within the existing system should probably sway your opinion of what the optimal strategy is at least a bit more.

    I like them but would I don’t think I would consider them that successful in respective of their peers. This system is literally against them being successful.

      That’s so.

      A career in politics hasn’t attracted much high quality talent in general, I think they’d be more successful if there was more of a sense of politics being a good option for good people. It mainly attracts scum these days.

        Unfortunately, you are correct. Politicians [in general, not all of them] suck.
