The fundamental problem is that politics needs a career track for people to become good at it. Would you consider term limits for programmers, after which they get to go back to their normal jobs in the humanities? When politicians are inexperienced, it just lends power to the lobbyists, the entrenched money, and the civil service.

That's the assumption I'm questioning. I don't think anyone is good at politics. Many politicians are good at using their positions to enrich themselves and their cronies, but that's not the kind of "good at it" that we citizens need.
