  You won't get to make any reforms if you can't get anyone to invest you with the appropriate authority, though. I don't expect the agenda that politicians aim to implement to line up perfectly with the one they present to garner the votes of the public. Of course this means that I'm fundamentally accepting the idea that politicians are somewhat dishonest by not fully articulating their aims, but since there's a lot of empirical evidence that this is what actually happens I figure it's more effective to exploit rather than bemoan the fact. I don't recall where I read it, but some years ago I came across the good advice that designing for the future is most easily done from being about 20 minutes ahead of the general public - less and your proposals don't look interesting enough, more and they're too hard for people to understand and you won't be able to get a job.
