Yeah, politicians need voters to not completely hate them so they can get re-elected. Imagine if instead politicians were selected by lottery, served shorter terms, and had their appointments staggered.

- JadeNB 7y agoWell, there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lottery_in_Babylon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lottery_in_Babylon , but not in the realistic spirit that you probably intended. (There's also HHGttG's https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Ruler_of_the_Universe https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Ruler_of_the_Universe , again in a different spirit.)
