It's the same in many other countries. They just ain't that big and language barrier prevents from looking deeper into BS that is going on there.
Overall the issue is that this career route does not pay well. E.g. in my country a mid-level developer earns as much as parliament member. Specialised constructions workers can make as much too. Why the hell would you pursue career in politics if you can easily make as cushy living with much less stress? You must be either narcissist or... not that bright to make a living in other ways.

- mantas 4y agoI'm not sure if it's pure idealism. It feels like in previous era politicians much more prestigious career. And people were valuing prestige over €€€ much more. Sort of like clothing. Now people want to be comfy and go in tshirts. Previously people were much more invested in community functions.
