Elected Representatives

We need to do something. Our elected representatives are a motley crew, increasingly ignorant and stupid. Listen to them. Watch them. The bulk of them are no-nothing party hacks. The crisis in US politics is more public and better documented. There politicians seem to lack shame and willingly parade their  ignorance and stupidity in public. Other countries need take no smug comfort from this debacle. We are also affected. In a quieter more subtle way our politicians reveal similar traits. We need to act. We need to stop electing such people. This is not a party issue. All parties are affected and indeed all parties encourage such people. Ordinary mortals like us need to get our act together and choose and elect a radically different breed to our governments.
