Valid point. Cronyism is a problem in national politics also, additionally revolving door "consultant" positions in big businesses I find problematic. I'd love to see more direct democracy and/or some kind of merit based "national service" for government. It's quite often the case that those who seek political office are the worst people for the job (of course with exceptions to the rule).
