Are Voters Stupid, Or Is The System Making Fools Of Us All?

America and Britain produce Nobel laureates, technological geniuses and some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs. Yet when it comes to choosing political leaders, we somehow end up with a talent pool that wouldn't necessarily make the shortlist for managing a McDonald's.
Usually spectacular incompetence gets you fired. In politics, it can get you promoted. In America, politicians are harder to get rid of than Japanese knotweed, while in Britain we periodically throw the entire government out, only to discover that the replacements aren't much more inspiring. On both sides of the Atlantic, party machines reward loyalty over talent, money buys influence and capable people increasingly have better things to do than enter politics. Perhaps the real mystery isn't why politicians keep disappointing us, but why we keep expecting political excellence from a system that seems designed to reward everything but.
So who's really running the circus? The voters, the politicians or the people paying for the tent?
