However.
Currently, the money in politics simply isn't good enough to attract real talent. So you only get three types of people
1) People who are actually not top of their field at all
2) People who are independently wealthy and don't need the salary (hello Tories)
3) People who are in it for ideological reasons, could make more money elsewhere but will take a pay cut to try to make a difference.
...and #3 will discover quite quickly that they can't make any meaningful difference whatsoever in our current political system, so will abandon politics for either a more comfortable life or to work in the not-for-profit 3rd sector where they can at least make a SMALL difference to real people's lives. |
Politics hasn’t worked in the last 7 decades so why keep making the same mistakes !?
Whats that saying ?
