| Government: also see Ignorance, Incompetence
Career path: usually have only gone from university to parliamentary research to constituency MP. Degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. Placed in charge of department they have no knowledge or experience of and changed periodically in and out of limelight to minimise scandal.
This is also true of many of the upper echelons of the civil service as well. It seems to me that the good ones are trodden on by those who like power too much.
The world needs fewer politicians and more statesmen.
Statesmen = dead politician
