Yeah, I've noticed this in Australia... Politics is full of failed ad execs and dis-barred lawyers. The really intelligent people now go into the private sector because politics has lost any semblance of being a respectable or intellectual career. What happens when you have policy dictated by reactionary idiots? What happens when this continues for more than a generation? Very scary.
