It's a cynical way to see it, but it's true, we as a populace have lost the capability to understand who is trustworthy and who is not, politics is not for everyone, we should have a selection of prepared people who know what they are doing, but to discriminate prepared people from inept, you should have a logical mind, but we vote base on sympathy and personal interest. We in Italy have a long, long history of this kind shitty politician, the sad part is the world is slowly (but not so slowly) drifting into "our" direction when it comes to politics. My hope is, at a certain point in time, things will change for the better, who live will see
