However, oftentimes those morons aren't the puppet masters. Someone else is. But I know it's not a perfect system, nor is it "truly" better than elected officials. I just feel that a system of long term rule with at least a check on the executive similar to an elective monarchy. Or we could do what the celts did and have a Tanistry system of inheritance. The heir is deigned by an election of the eldest/siblings of the current ruler (or if there are none, their parents eldest or cousins, etc, etc).
