Ehhh science just can't tell you certain things like what tax rate should be for provinces or things like that. Can't measure a countries happiness really idk just to much to chance with people
they should be able to understand what the average person is going through. I also like a person that knows about an issue or atleast takes an effort to sanction research and make an informed decision. finally any leader needs to be likeable as people get behind a strong leader.
whether the person truly possesses those values is up for the media to decide I suppose.
you could be shown a 20 minute long speech that they make which is incredible and then lose all confidence in the person just because they tripped over walking down the stairs.
That was the entire point of our foundation as Americans. A government that left room for all to thrive, while leaving hints of anarchism to protect the population from a government any other than that which had been established. Only over 200 years later do we give everything up for the very thing we were grown to dispise.
anarcho capitalism and communism both fail because people cannot be trusted
there are bad people in this world and there needs to be law and order to deal with them and create a sense of peace
my problem is with over regulation and the obvious fact that corporations run the world.
why exactly is Australia expected to pay upto 50% more for products than other countries? why is it technically illegal for me to bypass these restrictions and buy overseas? why are police spending their time arresting people for piracy as opposed to ridding the world of murderers, rapists and thieves?
inb4 "oh well they are breaking the law"
ask yourself who made the law and you'll realise why its bullshit
so that they can make "informed decisions" in the best interests of the rebublic.
And also we need a "fall guy" incase we need to dump all the blame and responsibility when something goes wrong just like Barney from HIMYM, just sign shit w/o asking questions *wink wink*
even before governments were established we had tribes and in those we had tribe leaders who made those same "informed decisions" that the leaders of our country are doing right now.
It's impossible to be a "good" politician in the sense that you please everyone and do the right thing. It's actually better to have people in power that are somewhat shady and corrupt as they can handle the shitstorm better then people that are purely good valued, simple people. If you want to win an election then you have to bend on some of your values and say things you don't necessarily believe. For the most part you can stick to your guns, but you have to be able to play the game to actually get something done in congress or government. People that aren't able to exchange favors, lie, and cheat a little bit will never make progress. Anyone that genuinely believes otherwise is naive.
Comments
decisions should be made by science and not by some guy just because majority wanted him there, even though half never even saw him in person.
"the guy" should just press the button science tells him to, and show people he pressed it, when and how...
Their affiliation (Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian, Etc.)
Their Voting history
If they flip flop.
Everything else is irrelevant.

there will always be leaders. the world cannot run without some type of leader let it be a supervisor, director, politician.
unfortunantly a lot of people with leadership power cant make a decision on anything.
maybe this wont happen in NA, due to all the enemy-making business they have...just a solid argument to keep all the dirty stuff secret...
...and writer.
